Arts & Minds wrote the Creative Pathways guide in response to feedback in our member’s survey. Some of our LYPFT staff members wanted more guidance in how to use the arts, and we hope this guide will give you that. When we talk about the arts we don’t just mean drawing and painting. Think about photography, creative writing, music, singing, drama, sculpture, film-making…. there’s a host of possibilities out there! Whether you want to signpost a service user to an arts group; improve your environment with artwork; develop a creative project on your ward; offer placement opportunities to arts students; or get some training so you can do it yourself, there’s a creative pathway for you.
