We have spaces available to join our weekly Art Therapy Group.

This group meets online every Friday from 10.25-12pm and is facilitated by Art Therapist, Chryssy Gibbs.

Chryssy says "Art Therapy can be beneficial at any stage, from diagnosis, through treatment and in transition of any type. Art therapy is a safe way for people with cancer and their families to explore emotions such as anger, fear and anxiety about the cancer and treatment".

If you are interested in coming along then please let us know by calling 01463 382 900 or emailing maggieshighlands@maggiescentres.org.

The Veterans In-Service Injury Network (VISIN), supported by £50,000 annual Scottish Government funding, will be hosted by NHS Highland and available across Scotland.
