Creative Workshops
The free-to-attend Recovery Through Music programme provides opportunities for people with mental health difficulties to participate in music-related activities. We provide safe and supportive environments for people to come together, learn new skills, get creative, and make new friends.
By supporting the Recovery Through Music programme, you will be joining us as we provide creative mental health support to those in need.
Tonic Music for Mental Health
Tonic Music for Mental Health was founded upon the belief that participation in music and the arts can aid people in their recovery from mental illness.
Many of our participants have previously been admitted to hospital and use Tonic as their way of staying well. Others use Tonic to aid their transition back into the workplace after a period of mental ill health. Many more have made new friends and built a support network through Tonic.
By providing opportunities for members of our community to participate in music and the arts, we directly support them on their journeys of recovery.
We help people to build their resilience, self-worth and confidence through positive risk-taking, accomplishment and artistic expression.
Testimonials
It gives me a sense of belonging, a sense of community, and a safe place to go where my anxiety and mental health problems are accepted as a part of me - they are nothing to be ashamed of.
The Tonic workshops have proved inspirational. Seeing people come together to create and connect as musicians, poets and artists has such a strikingly positive effect on their mental wellbeing. I have felt privileged to be a part of the process.
Tonic is about inclusion and embracing everybody that comes to the workshops and the gigs. It's about being there with the people.
