2 ABOUT US HELLO THERE! Join us as a volunteer if you have an interest in using the arts to support our community s mental well-being! The Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH) was established in 1968 as the first community mental health agency in Singapore with the aim of promoting mental wellness and resilience in the community as well as facilitating the rehabilitation and reintegration of persons with mental health conditions. SAMH Creative Services began in 2011 and offers both art and sports programmes on a monthly basis. Programmes are designed with the key purpose of enhancing mental wellness for all. SAMH believes that regular engagement in the arts, sports and outdoors: 1. Benefits mental and emotional wellness. 2. Contributes to self-care and enhances physical health. 3. Promotes social inclusion.

To register, please us at creativemindsethub@ samhealth.org.sg or call us at Artmakings Where words fail, art speaks. There are many misconceptions about art. While some believe that they need to be born with artistic talents in order to know how to make art, others think that they will benefit from making art only if they are good at it. We invite you to put aside these misconceptions and discover how art can be a means to improve our well-being. As a mental health organisation, Artmakings is delivered with your mental well-being in mind. Besides facilitating a development of technical art skills, we also incorporate group sharing on how the art-making process can be used to promote expression, cope with stress, engage the senses as well as improve awareness of self and others. Our monthly Artmakings is delivered through various themes with the use of dry media, such as drawing pen, coloured pencils or pastels, and fluid media, such as watercolour and acrylic paints. No art experience is required and we welcome everyone from all walks of life to join us in the journey of Artmakings! Individual Art Therapy Facilitated by an art therapist, the objectives of Art Therapy are based on the unique needs of each individual. It is the process of creating art for emotional, psychological and physical wellness. As with any form of therapy, the therapeutic relationship provides the basic foundation needed to assist the individual in reflection, decision making and finding solutions. No prior art knowledge or training is required. $80 per session/hour. Appointment is required. Art Experiential Art experiential workshops provide groups with the opportunity to learn how art can serve as a point of reflection and expression. These workshops draw attention to an individual s thought and emotional processes as he/she embark on a personal or group art making process. Art experiential workshops are facilitated by an art therapist. Open Studio Escape from the hectic city life into our Open Studio where anyone is welcome to drop by for some art making or reading. 2
