Inside RTMinds
RTMinds was set up to help anyone in need of emotional support.
The Open Art Surgery is a place to smile, laugh, or cry. To overcome fears and to learn how to live a full life despite the past.
It's a safe place to meet people, and create art.
Above all else RTMinds is a compassionate community where people can become a part of a wonderfully accepting and safe community.
Our 'Open Art Surgery' is a fully equipped art studio where people get involved in a whole range of creative activities including art, music, poetry, photography, printmaking, film making as well as outside activities and experiences in nature including mindfulness, yoga, nature walks.
Alongside creative activities attendees can access one to one emotional and psychological support.
RTMinds is a powerful alternative to statutory mental health services by providing a truly person centred intervention where every aspect of individual need is addressed in a compassionate non clinical environment.
We are successful because we:
Tap into people strengths rather than focussing on perceived weaknesses.

Focusing on solutions rather than problems
Realising individuals amazing potential
