BACKGROUND

FEEDBACK

Stepping Stones Arts
Working in partnership with the local health care community we offer a range of creative arts activities for the benefit of referred clients and aim to promote a wider understanding of the benefits of arts activities for mental well-being.

Borderland Voices was founded in 1998 in Leek, Staffordshire and currently works across the Staffordshire Moorlands. Our aim is to promote mental health through the arts and to raise public awareness and understanding of mental health issues by delivering accessible arts projects and offering creative space for self-expression within a mutually supportive community.

Borderland Voices are at present researching the possible health benefits of involvement in the arts. We would be grateful if any visitors to our site could fill in our brief online questionnaire, giving your individual opinions and assessments of the benefits to mental health and well-being of involvement in creative processes and therapeutic activities.
