Personal Budget and Peer Support

We provide weekly supported creative therapeutic sessions where clients can work on independent projects using a range of art materials. The creativity lead structure enables participants to gain confidence in the environment where they are all valued, this will aid as a prevention as well as recovery for many in the wider community. Our focus is better mental health through creativity and mindfulness. Building relationships with one another, networking, sharing resources, skills, ideas, community integration and to build resilience within the group to embed lifelong coping strategies and resources to maintain well-being and good mental health on an ongoing basis. Encouraging others to benefit and develop from regular creative practice alongside some mindfulness, to gain support, friendship networking, well-being, health, gaining confidence and generally finding meaning again.

‘Coming to the mosaic therapeutic support classes with Art4space has been a life line for me. I feel very blessed to have been given the opportunity to attend this for many years now and each week it feels like entering a little place in paradise for a couple of hours . The happy, bright, cheerful ,warm and welcoming surroundings and empathetic teachers are a world away from my usual lonely and dark days at home. There is even a tranquil garden and a cosy “me-time” lodge should you wish to have some peace and quiet or have a heart to heart chat with the kind , understanding staff who will try their utmost best to support with anything that might be troubling you. And in the midst of this wonderful atmosphere you can develop your creative and artistic skills and end up with artwork that you can feel proud of. This course allows you to engage in a rewarding activity, in a safe , super friendly and supportive environment. I could not wish for better!’
