Today Kaya & Jenny from Redcatch Community Garden led an Introduction to Art Therapy session at Bluebell Place.

They supported several parents in using creativity as a tool to explore their emotions & manage their mental health.

There was honesty, connection, laughter and encouragement. This is why spaces like ours, that equip parents with the tools & reduce stigma, are vital for parents experiencing #perinatalmentalhealth difficulties.
