Shocka hosts special event on What To Do

Community Integrated Care is delighted to welcome mental health advocate and rapper, Shocka, to deliver an exclusive online performance on our charity’s www.What-To-Do.co.uk platform.

The session will take place on Wednesday 14th May at 6pm to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.

Shocka, who lives with Scizophrenia, anxiety and depression, has shared his story and tools for living well and pursuing your dreams with a mental health challenge in acclaimed TED talks and with communities across the UK.

As one of the UK’s leading mental health advocates, his music is filled with his lived experiences and messages of hope, compassion and support for people facing their own mental health barriers.

He will lead an inspiring session that blends performance with reflection and conversation. Open to people who access care and support, as well as social care professionals, the event will offer a unique space to connect, uplift, and explore mental wellbeing through music and creativity.

Amongst his set list for the event include tracks from his latest album ‘Vulnerability is the New Cool’.

John Hughes, Director of Partnerships & Communities at Community Integrated Care said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shocka back to What To Do for Mental Health Awareness Week. This is going to be such a special event—an amazing opportunity for people to come together, reflect on mental wellbeing, and be moved by Shocka’s incredibly powerful message and music. We’re proud to mark such an important awareness week with someone who brings such authenticity and positivity to these conversations and we’re incredibly grateful to have Shocka join the www.What-To-Do.co.uk community once again.”
