Mental Health Awareness Week

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek – the theme this year is anxiety. Mental Health Foundation found in a recent survey that 73% of the population felt anxious at some point in the last 2 weeks and that 20% felt anxious most or all of the time.

Art making can be a great way of quietening the mind and bringing you into the present to help with the symptoms of anxiety. Take 5 mins out your day to watch our artist Leo take you through a quick technique to draw 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel / touch, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. Do it yourself at some point this week – how did it make you feel? #ToHelpMyAnxiety
