Artlift offers creative space for adults living with mental and/or physical health challenges. We run courses and creative projects for anyone registered with a doctor in Gloucestershire. Our Creative Health specialist artists offer a personalised approach in a relaxed atmosphere through which participants can move forward.
Artlift also provides residencies, consultancy and Workplace Wellbeing packages to support diversity in Creative Health and the wellbeing of staff in the health, corporate and statutory sectors.
For Creative Health to successfully embed into systems, it's important to seek out partners in health and in the voluntary sector. By using the key health documents and strategies that set out priorities for a county, Creative Health work can include focussed programmes working with people facing the greatest barriers to health.
