What:
Our Creative Arts for Wellbeing are small group sessions which encourage peer support. And offer a variety of creative art projects, either your own or a guided project. All basic art materials are provided.
These sessions are designed for enjoyment and relaxation. No artistic ability is required, just a willingness to ‘have a go’.
For those who wish to put their memories into words and/or images, we also offer the opportunity to work on creative ways to record memories. Through journal keeping and scrapbook making.
Individual Sessions
If you cannot attend one of our groups, we offer some individual sessions at Michael Sobell House, to include the following:
- Starting a scrapbook or journal of memories.
- Advice and guidance on writing your memory/memories.
- Support with writing letters to people close to you.
