Art has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health in several ways. Creating art can be a form of self-expression that helps people process emotions, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness. Engaging with art, such as through viewing or discussing it, can also provide a sense of connection and community, which is important for overall well-being.

Art and Mental Health offers a variety of programs that use art as a tool for promoting mental health and well-being. These include workshops where participants can create and share their own art, discussions about mental health and art, and collaborative projects that bring together artists and mental health professionals. We also work with local schools and community groups to provide outreach services and support.

No, our programs are open to everyone regardless of whether they have a diagnosed mental health condition. We believe that art can be beneficial to anyone looking to improve their mental health or cope with life’s challenges. Our programs are inclusive and welcoming to all members of the community who are interested in creative expression and mental wellness.
