This holistic centre is ideally situated in Chapel Allerton and offers a wide range of…read morecomplementary health treatments and therapies, from physiotherapy to Reiki to Past Life Regression. It is made up of a group of self-employed practitioners that are all very qualified and experienced in their field. If, like me, you get a bit confused just looking at their leaflet with the seemingly endless options there is a solution! They have 'open advice' sessions three times a week where you can speak to someone about your problem and they will advise you of the best treatment or support. This is great especially if you don't quite know what some of the treatments are or if you don't feel great and haven't been given the attention you need from the NHS. Most of the practitioners are qualified in more than one area. If you do know what you are looking for you can call the individual practitioner to make an appointment.

Inkwell Creative Minds is a community arts project run by the Leeds branch of the mental health…read morecharity Mind in collaboration with Touchstone, another Leeds-based mental health organisation. The project caters for people in the Chapeltown and Harehills area of Leeds and provides classes in art and craft. When I passed by there were posters in the windows for a life drawing class. The idea behind these classes is to benefit the mental health of students through encouraging creative expression. There is strong evidence to suggest that expressing emotions and feelings through a piece of art can have positive benefits for someone with mental health problems. I must admit to never having used the services here, as I have thus far been lucky enough to have never experienced mental health problems, though a friend of mine who has suffered from mental health problems found painting and drawing to be very cathartic and helped his recovery. The Inkwell project seems to promote a very positive approach to mental health issues and caters for a wide range of people with symptoms of varying severity.
