RTProjects uses art to save lives. is here for people who live with depression, anxiety and those at risk of suicide Art should be part of a healthy lifestyle.

RTProjects is an independent registered charity, set up in 2007 upon the belief that art can save lives. We aim to reduce anxiety and depression by enabling people to use art to strengthn their emotional resilience. We believe that everyone can benefit from participation in creative activities. Modern lifestyles are all too often made up mostly of work and TV, leaving many people disconnected from creative thought and discontented with their lives. We think of it as ‘jogging for the mind’. Discovering art can be life changing. Art can:
Enable people to re-connect with themselves and others;
Reduce Anxiety through engagement in mindful activity;
Improve self esteem by producing something to be proud of;
Stimulate the creative part of the brain. RTProjects is a powerful alternative to clinical and pharmaceutical treatments. We know it works. We see first hand the life-changing impact our projects have upon people’s lives.

So I was at the Royal College of Psychiartry yesterday for a discussion on the 'Mens mental Health bill' I was a bit nervous and the 'What shoul I wear question was going round my head. Am I supposed to were a suit? In the end I decided to be myself and be the odd one out and wear my yellow trainers. What a relief to find I wasn't the only one wearing bright coloured trainers.
