R. McDonnell
R3,474 Discovery Miles 34 740 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume explores service users' lived experiences of mental health recovery within a day centre setting where creative activity and social support were key aspects of the service.

McDonnell argues that the uplifting effects of creative activities such as art, music, and creative reading and writing, alongside the communality incorporated into the general ethos and social setting of many of the projects cited, are a positive force for change and that resource allocation and integrated care models should reflect this new paradigm.
