Over the last year and a half, we have provided a series of creative taster sessions across Cornwall for mental health service providers and service users, designed to give creative ideas and inspiration to those taking part.
Creative activity can:
•
Promote mental health
•
Tackle stigma and ignorance about mental illness.
•
Improve the mental health and wellbeing of people with a wide range of mental health problems.
•
Sustain people with severe and/ or enduring mental illness, providing opportunities for service users to create and exhibit art work across the county.
"Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing."
Julia Cameron
