The Occupational Therapy Department at Tower Hamlets Centre for Mental Health provides rehabilitation services to adult with severe and enduring mental illness. The aim of the DAPA project was to increase access to informal learning opportunities for mental health service users in Tower Hamlets.
The DAPA project provided drumming and photography workshops to adult users of mental health services in Tower Hamlets.
The workshops were very successful and well attended, reaching over 100 individuals. The local press also supported the marketing and publicity of the project.
Participants in the workshops created 20 framed and mounted photographs as part of a travelling exhibition.
It was important to get support staff involved. This allowed ongoing support to be provided for individuals using the mental health services.
