Art as Therapy programme
Arty-Folks reaches out to adults of working age 18+ in Coventry and Warwickshire who are at a low point in life and are struggling with mental health challenges.
We began 1995 as a peer support and recreational art group and today we run a ground-breaking Art for Therapy program.
A medical diagnosis can offer relief at start by naming the problem but on the other hand can disempower by labelling and by putting the spotlight on a person’s deficits and disorders which can only further perpetuate their negative self-beliefs.
Today our programme combines four elements that we have found to be essential to empower people on their recovery journey and to make strides in life:
• Art for Self-Development
• 1:1 Coaching and Mentoring
• Peer Companionship
• Time to process life experiences
REACH Peer Support Service
Realising Everyone’s Access to Community Help (REACH) is a brand new service that will support the delivery of the Community Mental Health Transformation programme of the NHS.
REACH is the result of a fantastic collaboration by a consortium of over 70 local providers (VCFSE MHAlliance) spearheaded by Rethink Mental Illness, Experts by Experience and NHS Coventry&Warwickshire Partnership Trust.
This new service offers person-centred care for adults with severe mental health needs who are either waiting for NHS Mental Health Services or are being discharged.
