Youth Entrepreneurship

The Elevated Grounds Performance Group operates as a Social Enterprise which compensates the cast made up of young Artistic Educators who are direct/indirect survivors of mental health challenges. 

We aim to educate and entertain our audiences using the lived experiences of our cast within a peer mentorship approach known as contact based education. Our Artistic Educators share their personal experiences with mental health issues to  do away with the stigma associated with mental illness while while touching on healthy “coping strategies” that aid in their own resiliency and recovery.

The audience will learn about the important issue of de-stigmatizing mental illness so that it is no longer seen as a taboo topic in the children, youth and adult world.
