Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust (SHSC)

 

Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust (SHSC) has a strong and long standing commitment to the use of arts and creativity in supporting recovery from mental illness and promoting mental wellbeing.

“Inspired Minds”, SHSC’s strategy for arts in health wellbeing and social inclusion was adopted by the Trust Board in December 2010.

 

SHSC has supported the development of the Creative Arts Steering Team (CAST) and developed partnerships with organisation such as Breakthrough, Reflections in Art charity and the Storying Sheffield project at University of Sheffield.

 

Service users’ artwork is now displayed on information leaflets, on the Trust website, on corporate plans and reports.

 

It is also displayed on “gallery walls” throughout the Trust.

 

The role played by art, music and drama in the Recovery Event in October 2011 also marked a recognition of the role that these approaches can play in wellbeing and inclusion.

 

The Sheffield Arts and Wellbeing Network was launched with a conference on 2nd November 2012.

 

This marked a commitment by SHSC, Sheffield City Council, the University of Sheffield and a host of local arts organisations, individuals and voluntary bodies to further collaboration on providing inclusive arts opportunities.
