Finding creative and enjoyable ways to share our thoughts, feelings and ideas can make us feel good and help our mental health especially when we face tough situations or difficult times.

During the last big lockdown, lots of people found creative ways to help them through it such as gardening, growing plants, mindful colouring, reading and crafts.
