  1. Hi Kate, what a wonderful blog! Mental Health and creativity go hand in hand. I use basic creative writing quite a bit in my Wellness Groups at a private Psychiatric Ward – it opens things up so very nicely 🙂 To me that’s very important, as conventional psych treatments very often kill the creative spark in people. My ‘first draft’ tutor also runs a creative writing course as a recovery tool for out patients. Keep up the good work.
