This can contribute to an alarming rise in mental health problems that are prevalent across our society. The media and health professionals have been highlighting this for sometime now but there are still very few opportunities for individuals in our area. Our team have had considerable experience of working in educational and therapeutic settings and have first hand experience of how working creatively can have a real positive affect on the individuals involved. Our workshop brings the community together through creative and imaginative action which creates a sense of self worth and of a community that is supportive and inclusive.
