Dundee Creative Well-Being Arts and Culture
Creative Well-Being Dundee has developed activities and workshops around the four strands that support mental health and well-being. All the workshops and group activities are led by women and centred around women’s needs. We have regular clients all from mixed backgrounds who are enjoying the safe space we have created for them.
On this page we tell you about some of the things that we have done in our sessions.
