We strive in our work to constantly be trying to develop our own aims, which are to create an atmosphere in the workshops that is safe, respectful and enjoyable, promoting a deeper understanding of psychosis.
We encourage users to talk about their issues so they can learn from others, using creative mediums as ways of expression and for enhancing participants' skills and ideas for developing psychological approaches for those experiencing psychosis.
We work to explore creativity as a tool for learning and/or developing relationships and look at the implications of labelling and ways of using this to improve mental health services and personal development.

We work in collaboration with groups and
organisations to devise structures that best
meets their aims and objectives.
Therefore, they are tailored individually and are designed with the consent of the client group.
As well as running sessions on psychosis, we will address
all other issues related to mental health.
Our approach to user consultancy has been
inspired by our training packages and because
we have both experienced mental distress.
We aim to create sessions where users participate in ways that are comfortable and meaningful to them.
The way we design sessions for mental health
workers is different from traditional approaches
to training.
We encourage workers to think from a user perspective by trying to get them to imagine what it feels like to have symptoms of psychosis.
