Do you love the arts and care about mental health? So do we! Arts for Mental Health (ARTSMH) is a student-led association that creates a space where you can explore, experience, and learn together with like-minded individuals. It is where creativity meets well-being...

Whether you’re an artist, a psychology student, or just curious, there’s a place for you here!

Our mission is to…

  • Support student well-being through arts
  • Explore the relationship between psychology and the arts
  • Provide opportunities to connect, learn and grow together

What We Do

We organise a diverse range of psychology and art-related activities for our members, including:

  • Reflective Art Workshops – Explore and express your emotions through various art forms – such as painting and jewellery making (no skills required!) *These sessions are merely leisure activities, not therapy.
  • Inspiring Talks – Meet artists, mental health professionals, and researchers, and hear about their experiences
  • Psychology & Art Research Summary Updates – Stay up-to-date with the latest research linking art and mental health
  • Career & Volunteering Opportunities – Discover opportunities and roles related to mental health and the arts

Not only do we support students at university, we also collaborate with external organisations to provide students with leadership opportunities and evidence-informed art programmes for the community.

Join us to learn, create, and connect - and discover the power of arts for mental health!
