Facilitating mental wellbeing through creativity

Facilitating mental health and wellbeing through creativity Join Jayne Howard for a supportive and engaging online session exploring how creativity can nurture mental health and wellbeing—for both participants and practitioners.

This session offers a welcoming space to explore the benefits of creativity for mental wellbeing, alongside practical guidance you can use in your own work. Together, we’ll look at how the Five Ways to Wellbeing can be used as a framework for creative workshops, as well as how to maintain healthy boundaries and work in ways that are safe, ethical and sustainable.

The session is led by Jayne Howard, Director of Arts Well CIC, who brings over 20 years’ experience working in arts and health at both operational and strategic levelsand is known for creating thoughtful, inclusive learning spaces. As well as leading Arts Well, Jayne is also Programme Manager at the National Centre for Creative Health, a Fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs and of the Royal Society of Arts, and an Associate Member of the Royal Society for Public Health.

Participants consistently describe these sessions as practical, generous and inspiring:

“The workshops were educational, practical and enlightening. They were a great place to learn.”

“Really useful information and advice. Focusing, positive and galvanising.”

“Very informative and beautifully delivered. Outstanding!”

“Great to have all the information and links sent through afterwards. Very generous.”

Sessions take place on Zoom, with small groups of 4–16 participants to allow time for discussion, reflection and questions, with a strong emphasis on helping you put your learning into practice.

To make the sessions as accessible as possible, they are available at a range of price points, including a donation option, so everyone can take part whatever their circumstances.
