Taking the first steps towards a recovery can be daunting. Step 1 alleviates this through participatory arts classes, held in familiar settings (places of treatment). This approach integrates peer-support into care plans, using physical art activities to support treatment outcomes.
We run our group arts classes from health locations across the south of Glasgow (listed below). If you attend one of these locations, the staff there will be able to tell you how to join our classes and when the next series will begin.
Our group classes last for 6-8 weeks, running regularly each week. After completing a series, members have the option to join our community peer-support group (Step 2).
