Art aids recovery for support group members
A group of local people recently displayed their artwork in the exhibition space at Airdrie Community Health Centre.
The display was facilitated by the Recovery Through Art Group which supports people in recovery from alcohol and drug problems, using a tool called ‘Outcome Star’.
The exhibition space at the centre is managed in partnership by NHS Lanarkshire and Culture NL and is available to exhibit the work of local individuals and interest groups.
Wendy Kennedy, health improvement practitioner for NHS Lanarkshire, said: “The exhibition space showcases four displays each year. It’s a space to promote any type of art which reflects health and wellbeing and highlights how being creative has a positive role in everyone’s lives. Anyone interested in displaying their work in this space should contact me on 01236 772335.”
The Recovery Through Art Group operates on a rolling basis with three programmes being held throughout the year. For more information on the group contact Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership on 01236 707168 or visit www.nhslanarkshire.org.
