Creatively Feeling: an Artful Approach to Mental Health & Healing
We are happy to start a project promoting the use of photography in community mental health services, "Creatively Feeling: an Artful Approach to Mental Health & Healing". Working together with the certified art therapist from New York, Julia Volonts, and students of Art Therapy programme of Riga Stradins University, we will organise a series of community based art therapy groups using photography and collage as the main tool of intervention. The results will be shared with mental health professionals and general public through two publications that will be released in Autumn 2022. The project is a part of "Art of Staying Healthy" programme run by Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture and Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health.
