Story
We would like to raise £20,000. This will allow us to continue providing free mental health services in local communities. Lack of disposable income is a main barrier that prevents people battling with mental health issues from accessing alternative forms of therapy.
It will also allow us to continue to produce and provide valuable Art Therapy resources, like our Art Therapy Journal, to those in need for free.
This is important as over the past 2 years there has been an increase in numbers of mental health cases being reported. Trying to survive through a pandemic, losing loved ones, huge job losses and an overall uncertainty in the economy, has been very hard to come to terms with for many of us.
Your generous gift will affect many lives and literally contribute to a more positive future for us all.
*Tiffany (name changed for GDPR) 19 years old and has been accessing our Art Therapy sessions. She was referred to CAHMS for depression at age 15, then transferred to adult mental health services at 18.
Her attendance at college was affected and she was at risk of being removed from her course of study.
By accessing Art Therapy, Tiffany has managed to improve her attendance at college.
"Doing Art Therapy gives me something to look forward to, because even though I don't always say much in the sessions, being in the room with my Therapist makes me feel seen and safe... Its weird but that's the only way I can describe it! I also like Art Therapy because its something that I can do when I'm at home too. I was given an Art Therapy Journal and I have been using everyday! I like it because it makes me think about my feelings instead of bottling everything up. I don't usually like talking about them, especially to strangers... But the journal has made this easier" - Tiffany, 19.
An average Art Therapy session starts from £40...
£20,000 sounds like a lot of money, but the services and resources this campaign will fund will be invaluable for generations to come!
