The benefits to service users in each of the studios is wide ranging and real.
Typical benefits reported include increased self worth and confidence,
improved quality of life, personal growth, skills development and reduced
symptoms of ill health. âThe Art Studio turned my life around in such a way I
can hardly begin to describe. My world was so closed in that it even
frightened me. I was living in pyjamasâŠall of my curtains and blinds were
closed⊠On a few occasions I tried to take my own life. Now I have skirts and
jeans on my washing line instead of pyjamas and nightdresses. My curtains
opened last week for the first time in 2 years. The Art Studio has become my
saviour, a place of peace and tranquillity and an oasis of encouragement and
friendship.â Wanda NTAS service user. This impact is nationally recognised,
âThe arts, creativity and the imagination are agents of wellness: they help
keep the individual resilient, aid recovery and foster a flourishing society.â
