For 6 years in the Vaucluse region, the journal Un Fol Être invites readers to explore the theme of the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM) through the eyes of unique authors. The aim is to approach the fortnight's events with openness and curiosity.
This year, the SISM will take place from October 5 to 18, 2026, with the central theme "For our mental health, let's open ourselves to the arts."
It is often said that art is beneficial, that it soothes, consoles, and sometimes heals. Museum prescriptions, for example, are now producing documented and profound results. Beyond their therapeutic virtue, the arts touch upon our capacity to feel, imagine, create, and be moved by what surprises and transcends us.
This sixth issue of the journal primarily features narratives of singular, fragile, and luminous experiences. These accounts do not claim to hold the absolute truth about the arts or mental health, but together, they aim to sketch out a common landscape and language.
