Notice Description

The Cultural Cwtsh was created as a direct response to the pandemic and the impact it was having on healthcare staff dealing with pressures on the frontline which was resulting in exhaustion, burn-out and severe stress. In consultation with our partners within Health & Social Care and working with a wide range of artists across Wales, the Arts Council developed a bespoke, online creative wellbeing resource for the Healthcare workforce in Wales. The Cultural Cwtsh is a bilingual online resource endorsed by Health Education Improvement Wales. It is inspired by a growing body of evidence showing the positive impact the arts can have on our mental health and wellbeing. Full of fun activities, the Cultural Cwtsh invites health and social care colleagues to switch off from work, discover their own creativity and unlock the wellbeing benefits.This unique resource, created in consultation with Health Education Improvement Wales and Social Care Wales, features bitesize activities from some of Wales' leading artists. It aims to boost health and wellbeing through the arts, offering staff some inspiration and fun, comfort, relaxation and restorative 'time out'.Activities range from portrait painting and creative writing to nature exploration, Bollywood dancing, singing, photography, juggling and animation.
