Junior Minister Emma Pengelly and Jennifer McCann launched My Journey My Voice at Parliament Buildings on 2 November. The hugely successful event was attended by a host of Minsters, MLAs, MPs, and guests from a wide range of health, social care, and third sector organisations. It was an emotional day for everyone involved as the participants and their families saw their portraits for the first time. Visitors to the exhibition were moved by their powerful stories and courage in taking part.
