​​Programme Overview

---

When we learn new skills or concepts, we experience a sense of pride and accomplishment that can boost our self-esteem and improve our overall mood. This is particularly true for patients who may be struggling with mental health challenges, as learning can provide a sense of purpose and direction that is often missing when we're feeling low.

Tutors in subjects like foreign language, digital art, traditional art and design, as well as mathematics can play an important role in promoting these benefits for patients.
