Housing Plus partnership in Kelheim: Catze's artistic initiative combats the labelling of mental illness and substance abuse
CaTze Day Center's Artistic Group "Kreativos" Shines at Exhibition
The CaTze day center, an outpatient facility of the social psychiatric service of Caritas Kelheim, has introduced a new group called "Kreativos". This group meets every Wednesday morning to paint, draw, create collages, or art journals in a relaxed atmosphere.
The "Kreativos" group, part of the CaTze day center, offers art-making opportunities and aims to help participants overcome self-doubt and the inner critic that often arises when painting. This group can be contacted at 094411779425, with the day center's team available to answer questions about their work and offerings from weekdays 8 am to 4 pm.
Recently, the "Kreativos" group participated in an exhibition at the Leibersdorf swimming pool. The exhibition aimed to highlight the still prevalent stigma of addiction and the coping strategies and resources of those affected. The artwork displayed at the exhibition included installations and burned art pieces, making the themes of addiction and mental illness visible.
The "Kreativos" group's artwork received appreciative and positive feedback during the exhibition. Participants in the group could express their unique style, overcome fear of the blank page, explore their creativity, and receive validation from the group. The exhibition was a great success for both "Wohnen plus" and the Kreativos.
Earlier this year, a collaboration request was made from the Caritas facility "Wohnen plus" in Aiglsbach for an exhibition. The "Kreativos" group's exhibition was a success for both the CaTze day center and "Wohnen plus".
For more detailed information about the Kreativos group's art therapy program for mental health and addiction, or their partnership with "Wohnen plus", we recommend directly contacting CaTze day center or Wohnen plus or checking their official websites or social media channels for up-to-date and detailed descriptions of their programs and collaborations.
The "Kreativos" group, part of the CaTze day center, utilizes art-making as a means to support mental health and wellness, focusing on reducing self-doubt and overcoming the inner critic. Their artwork, showcased in recent exhibitions, promotes awareness about mental health issues like addiction.
The collaboration between the "Kreativos" group and "Wohnen plus" highlights their shared commitment to health-and-wellness and mental-health initiatives. These exhibitions serve as platforms to engage the community and foster dialogue about coping mechanisms for mental illness and addiction.
