Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects mood, energy and motivation during the darker months of the year. Over winter 2022–23, researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh worked with people in Glasgow affected by SAD through a series of creative workshops exploring self-care, routine and living well through winter.

This free mini-exhibition at The Mitchell features photographs and stories created during the workshops. Each image is accompanied by words drawn from participants’ own experiences, offering an intimate and powerful insight into life with SAD. Together, the works helped shape the Wintering Well programme now available in Glasgow Life Libraries.

Wintering Well is on display at The Mitchell Library from 12 January to 9 February 2026.

We have created a reading list on our online catalogue to help give you a boost this winter.
