Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, in partnership with the Western Health and Social Care Trust, is delighted to present the exhibition ‘Unheard Voices: The Reality of Addiction, Mental Health & Recovery.’

This powerful and inspiring exhibition opened on Level 3 of Strule Arts Centre on Friday 2 October and runs until Tuesday 6 October, before moving to the Visitor Centre at Enniskillen Castle from Friday 9 October to Tuesday 13 October.

Featuring a diverse collection including artwork, photography and written reflections, the exhibition gives a voice to personal stories, highlighting the devastating impact addiction can have on individuals, families and communities, while also sharing stories of courage, hope and the journey towards recovery.

This moving exhibition invites visitors to connect with the experiences behind the pieces, challenge stigma and reflect on the importance of compassion, understanding and recovery.

Speaking on the exhibition, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Debbie Coyle, said:

“This powerful and thought-provoking exhibition provides an important platform for people to share their experiences of addiction, mental health and recovery, helping us to better understand the challenges faced by individuals, families and communities, while also recognising their courage, resilience and hope. This partnership with the Western Health and Social Care Trust reflects our shared commitment to promoting wellbeing, raising awareness and supporting healthier, more connected communities.

I am pleased that Strule Arts Centre and Enniskillen Castle are providing a platform for this important exhibition to reach audiences across the district. I would encourage everyone to visit and reflect on the importance of compassion, understanding and challenging stigma.”
