Neil Gibson, a social work lecturer, explored this theme during his PHD and encouraged people to submit entries during a six week project. He said afterwards: “The photographs produced have been a revelation. “The aim of the programme was to enhance self-efficacy, self-esteem, and feelings of empowerment within the groups. “The exhibition includes photographs from groups including a carer support group, a mental health support group, a recovery from addictions support group, and an autism support group. “The words used alongside each image have attempted to capture what each participant said about their photograph.” The photographs are now on display in the Georgina Scott Sutherland Learning Centre in Aberdeen Business School.
