British organization Mind, starts a fund to help people experiencing mental health problems explore the benefits of creative arts therapies.
Read an interview with artist, Stuart Semple, about his art making and the Mind project:
“I was left with this strange sense of questioning – what happened, what can I eat, what can I not eat – and nobody could really give me any answers…So in one way I guess I had an eating disorder, but also I was just incredibly anxious about anything and everything…Of all things we tried – and they did eventually point me to a psychologist – it was actually my art that was there for me and helped me through it all.”
