Create and Converge

This project united artists with lived experience of mental health problems, young people and local organisations committed to disrupting traditional norms and redefining the notion of creative prescription.

Artlink Central and Macrobert Arts Centre have worked closely with local partner organisations including NHS Forth Valley to identify a diverse range of young people to explore mental health and wellbeing through a creative lens.

We aimed to use this project to shift away from a clinical approach, instead prioritising creative and cultural prescribing that avoids harm, resists stigma and centres on providing care options.
