Born during a global crisis, HeppCare is exploring the benefits of circus-based movement on wellness
Did you know?
One in four people who have enquired for mental health treatment wait more than three months and one in nine wait for longer than six months.
We created HeppCare to provide you with easy access to the help you need - now.
A new form of therapy
Created in partnership with the NHS, our eight-week course was designed to research the links between mental health, coping mechanisms and the performing arts.

Is it right for me?
You don’t need to have any previous experience of circus or the performing arts to partake in this programme. There are no physical requirements or limitations; we will work together with you to unlock what is possible.
At this moment, individuals undertaking HeppCare require a referral from the NHS or a GP, which follows an initial assessment session.
