CREATIVE THERAPIES HELP SURVIVORS TO RECOVER MENTAL HEALTH
RECOVERY Assistance Dogs was set up in July 2011 as part of the Charity RECOVERY. Their charitable objective is to help people with Mental Health problems by:
· Finding a creative therapy to aid recovery.
· Being free to choose their treatment and having capacity.
· Having freedom from force and fear.
A founder Member Liz Maitland who helped set up the charity originally in 2004 in Oakham, Rutland says:
“I noticed that my mother, who had Alzheimer’s, found purpose and support from her black and white spaniel Mimi.”
Often people become quite dependent on their dogs and need them for protection everywhere they go. Liz continues:
“It was easy to start up the project because shops, restaurants and pubs had been so supportive of Mimi coming in without a coat. My Mother would not go anywhere without her.”
RECOVERY is holding Ominheart Exhibition and Animated Film 'Party Animals' Launch at Newarke House Gardens from Monday 11 April to 4 May, 10am - 4pm and Bradgate Unit from Thursday 5 May to 28 May 2016, 10am - 4pm. Everyday you will be able to see and buy work done by Mental Health Survivors.
Come and be entertained and enthralled by our 3 minute animated film about how FAITH can help with Mental Health. Also see how Creative Survivors of Mental Health problems can write poetry and link it with their Artwork.
Do come along and meet the RECOVERYAssistance Dogs and find out more about this innovative work to improve our Mental Health.For further details please contact Liz or Anj on 07581282899 or 0116 2532073 or go to www.RECOVERY4Wellbeing.org.
