Creative Scotland is co-developing an Arts and Mental Health Framework, supported by The Baring Foundation and Creative Scotland National Lottery funding. As part of this work, they’ve created a survey to capture the voices of people with an interest in this area of work.

This framework will highlight the existing activity of those who work at the intersection of arts and mental health, enabling them to find a shared vision and understand their direction.

They invite stakeholders who work within arts and mental health across Scotland to help co-develop this framework.

They hope by working together in collaboration they can co-author and create something that strengthens and benefits everyone who works in this sector, captures your needs and ambitions, shows what we deliver together as a sector and supports our shared visions.

You could be working in the community offering creative activities, or be an artist delivering arts activities for mental health. You might be a health professional delivering or referring to creative activity, or you could have lived experience of engaging in arts activities for your mental health.

This survey aims to capture information about who is working in this sector, where and how they work, and what could support them in this work.

It will help them to create a picture of the range of stakeholders, understand where they work and what they need, and create a framework which reflects a shared vision of what they collectively want.

It will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
