Stockport NHS Trust- Art on perscription

How does it work? The course is run in stages with the first stage teaching basic drawing and painting techniques.  The second stage teaches advanced painting techniques, allowing you to develop your own creative direction.  This is not art therapy and work produced is not analysed. Participation in artistic activities can have a wide range of mental health benefits and promotes well-being. Being able to concentrate on something absorbing can be relaxing and a distraction from feelings of anxiety and distress. Through art you can discover new ways of looking at life. What's it about? Stockport Arts On Prescription is run by professional artists and health workers.  It offers the opportunity to develop your art skills in a flexible and supportive group environment.  We welcome people with all levels of art experience including complete beginners.
