Creative Works Studio was pioneered by an occupational therapist and practicing artist who envisioned combining occupational therapy and the arts. The Studio is a community-based therapeutic program offering healing and recovery through the arts for people living with severe and persistent mental illness.
The Studio welcomes clients from mental health agencies and helps them return to an active life. Each person is treated as an artist first and is encouraged to reach their highest potential through inspiring arts initiatives. Their life skills and ability to cope in the community also improve as a result.
The Studio is involved in mental health research and in community and educational outreach to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
