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.
South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
We are an NHS foundation trust, providing a range of community, mental health and learning disability services in Barnsley, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield.
We also provide some specialist medium secure services to the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber.
We put people who need to use our services, and their carers, at the very centre of everything we do.
We want to enable people to enjoy productive, full and independent lives in the heart of their communities.
To encourage the use of creative approaches in healthcare, which can increase self-esteem, provide a sense of purpose, develop social skills and improve quality of life, the Trust has developed an initiative called Creative Minds.
Our Creative Minds work is altering the perceptions of how we deliver our services and not only underlines our commitment to creative approaches but also provides more opportunities for individuals and groups to develop and grow creatively.
