WELCOME TO ARTS AND MINDS NETWORK
"The network is the place where we can discuss ideas, meet with other service users and providers, as well as encourage quality and good practice in the arts. We also have the chance to contribute to promoting the arts as a vehicle to social inclusion and wellbeing."
Mary Penford - Skippko Arts Team
The Arts and Minds network was set up in 2003. The network is a multi-sector partnership that aims to develop the role of the arts in health and social care.
We bring people together to share creativity, knowledge and resources so the arts can flourish in health and social care settings. We aim to increase public knowledge and understanding of mental health through the arts. The network is open to everyone with an interest in the role of the arts in health.
A wide range of people are involved, including those with personal experience of receiving health services, carers, health and social care professionals, artists and many others.
