Welcome to Creative Alternatives
Sefton's innovative arts on prescription service!

Creative Alternatives is a new remedy for stress, anxiety and depression which you can access for free if you live within the Borough of Sefton.

There is plenty of research to show that the arts can help improve wellbeing. For this reason Sefton Council and Sefton Primary Care Trust (PCT) are now offering creative activities as an alternative or addition to medication for people who experience mild to moderate depression, anxiety or stress.

When you join the programme you will be invited to attend one of the core workshops which take place on a weekly basis and explore a range of art forms. You will also be invited to attend specialist workshops and monthly outings. Please see the ‘Whats on’ page for more details. The programme is available to you for up to 6 months. When you leave the programme we will support you in continuing with your creative interests.

The programme is available to adults experiencing mild to moderate depression, stress or anxiety; and it is entirely free of charge.
