Clinically proven creativity for a relaxed and focused
mind.
Welcome to MindArt, a sensory drawing programme for people with neurological conditions and their supporters that has been clinically proven to reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and promote high levels of focus and engagement, with benefits maintained over time.
Our Story
Every MindArt session and product combines the therapeutic benefits of nature, sensory engagement and meditative drawing, guiding participants through carefully designed progressive stages to reconnect them with their creativity, responsive decision-making, and memories. These stages importantly prioritise satisfying, fail-safe and mindful drawing processes of 'thinking through your hands' with beautiful materials.
Participants don't worry about forgetting or needing to know how to draw, which builds confidence, creates a safe sharing environment, and encourages experimentation.
The MindArt programme is increasingly being adopted in broader contexts to support older people, individuals experiencing work-related stress, and those living with various neurological or mental health conditions. MindArt is currently being implemented in the Mental Health Services for Older People at Dunedin Hospital, day programmes, as well as in a pilot programme for stroke survivors. It has proven effective in reducing stress among nursing staff in French hospitals during the Covid pandemic. There is growing interest in extending the use of MindArt to address a wider range of neurological, trauma and mental health conditions, including anxiety and neurodiversity.
Therefore, we have divided our specifically designed programme into 2 pathways: the full programme for health professionals and specific MindArt resources from the programme for individuals at home.
