We know lots of people find being creative really helps their mental health and wellbeing. Creativity can help relieve stress and improve mood. Our creative groups help connect people in the community and provide social interaction and the opportunity to learn new skills which can boost confidence and self esteem. Nourishing our natural creativity can help build and protect resilience and speed up recovery.
We offer creative focused groups such as art and music groups.
Online group – Write Yourself Well. A six-week series of writing for wellbeing workshops, Mondays 2-4pm, starting May 11th 2020.
We all carry a wealth of stories within us and writing is a pleasurable way of helping us to explore these and to make sense of our lives. During these two-hour online group sessions we will write, explore and share together in a small group using a range of playful prompts to inspire poetry, prose and journal writing. No experience necessary, just bring yourself and a pen and paper or notebook/ journal.
These sessions will take place using the online meeting software Zoom. You’ll be sent an invitation to join the weekly meeting by email and will need to click on a link to take part using your computer’s video and audio capability. It’s quite an easy process.
