Arts for health and wellbeing
We are living through a time of increasing pressure on our mental health and wellbeing. There’s growing recognition of the important contribution that creativity and participation in the arts has in helping to improve this.
Arts Council England recognises creative health as an important part of living well, with creativity having a role in prevention, recovery and supporting people to manage their health.
As an arts facilitator, I create safe, supportive and participant-led sessions where creativity can flourish.
I work with sensitivity and flexibility, responding to the needs each individual and creating opportunities for people to explore, learn new skills and express themselves without judgment.
Through making art as a group, participants grow in confidence through their achievements, develop deeper connections with themselves and others and have a lot of fun too.
My name is Sophia Spink. I am an arts facilitator and artist based in Wilshire and Gloucestershire.
