💚ManMade : Creative expression for men’s mental health💚

I’ve been delivering arts for wellbeing sessions for a number of years now 💚

And it’s always struck me that they’re predominantly accessed by women 🤍

💚 I want to change this

Creativity is a part of all of us 💚

Connecting with it is one of the simplest ways to build confidence and find respite from intrusive negative thought processes 💚

Ian has been attending my Tuesday evening Artful Minds session since January 2023 💚

It’s been joyful to watch his progress. I asked him about his experience so far… 💚

💚 ‘For many years I’ve wanted to explore some way of creating art, but the fear of failure and “doing it wrong” kept me back from picking up a pencil ✏️

Sarah at Enso Creative Arts CIC has helped me finally break that cycle 🤍

She’s created a supportive, non-judgmental but challenging space where you can feel free to “have a go” 💚

What I didn’t expect was how transformative it has been for my mental health 💚

As well as finding myself a supportive community, I’ve discovered that the simple act of sitting down and making marks on a piece of paper does wonders for my mind 💚

For a while the world stops, your thoughts slow. I’ve discovered an essential element in my weekly routine and will always be grateful.’ 💚

💚ManMade begins on Monday December 9th💚
