CoolTan Arts believes mental well-being is enhanced by the power of creativity

Hello and welcome to the CoolTan Arts Wellbeing Service!

We offer many activities: creative workshops, advocacy training, volunteering opportunities, organised healthy walks and much more. Registerwith usfor a 45 minute meeting to complete an individually tailored ‘Wellbeing Plan’ with a Wellbeing Advisor. We will explore your interests, identify goals and/or areas of your life that you might like support with.

Our approach to wellbeing is evidence-based meaning that research has found that participating in certain activities can enhance your general wellbeing and improve your quality of life. Your WA is here to help and will suggest possible activities that could improve your wellbeing. For example, you might realize you would like to improve your work prospects and your WA could suggest volunteering to build your skills and confidence. You might want to meet new people and express your creative side and decide to complete a 12 week Fine Arts course.

Your Wellbeing Advisor will meet with you for regular follow up appointments to review how you are doing with your wellbeing plan, offering guidance, support and encouragement.

The service is for anyone aged 18+ living or working in London. You do not have to be registered at this practice to access the service. You can self-refer, or be referred by a health professional e.g. GP, nurse, psychologist, etc.

We aim to develop the service further and have teamed up with GoldsmithUniversity for research purposes. We would like you to take part by asking you to take 5 minutes to complete a questionnaire during your meetings. All information is confidential and anonymous. We will only use this information to monitorthe service with a view to secure future funding and hopefully introduce the Wellbeing service to more GP practices.

We would be very happy to meet with you and to help improve your wellbeing!

Warm regards,

Renu & Lulu
