Terres du Lauragais is hosting the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM) for the first time from October 5-18, 2026, offering 18 free events focused on art and mental well-being.

For the first time, the Terres du Lauragais region is organizing the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM) from October 5 to October 18, 2026. This event aims to raise awareness about mental health through various forms of artistic expression, featuring a rich program of 18 free events across the area.
Among the proposed activities, participants can engage in a workshop combining mindful creation, ceramics, and sophrology titled 'Terre & Souffle'. An exhibition of poems by Hugo Thurin Poueyto will offer an artistic perspective on mental health.
Interactive conferences, such as 'Sensory Journey from Canvas to Neurons!', will explore the connections between art, the brain, and well-being. Moving debates, like 'How are you… Tell me!', and participatory shows such as 'How are you… Really?', blending theater and dance, are also on the agenda to encourage exchange and reflection.
All events are detailed in the full program. It is advisable to book your place as capacity is limited for certain activities, although exhibitions are free to access.
