Practicing Cultures of Seasonality to 'Feel Light' Differently
Living with SAD is a research project about lived experiences of Seasonal Affective Disorder in the UK with a particular focus on experiences in Western Scotland, an area known for its wet and dark winters. Working closely with people who self-identify as experiencing depression on a SAD spectrum, the research team has developed narrative, creative and therapeutic-educational resources to understand how SAD experience affects everyday life and lifecourses, and to develop a series of 'Wintering Well' resources to support people who experience SAD to build happier winter lives.
