In Kelheim, Catze partners with Housing Plus to combat the stigmatization of mental health issues and addiction, using painting as a medium.
The CaTze day center, an outpatient facility of Caritas Kelheim, has introduced a new group called "Kreativos" that meets every Wednesday morning to paint, draw, create collages, or use old books for art journaling. The primary focus of the Kreativos group is not the result, but the process and the joy of creating.
The goal of the Kreativos group is to help participants overcome self-doubt and fear of the blank page, and to express their unique style. The group has been well-received, with participants receiving much appreciation and positive, sometimes even touching feedback from visitors.
The CaTze day center's artwork, including "soul paintings," has been showcased in exhibitions and has been well-appreciated by visitors. One such exhibition, held in mid-May at the Freibad Leibersdorf, aimed to highlight the still prevalent stigmatization of substance abuse and the coping strategies and resources of those affected. The Kreativos group participated in this exhibition with their soul paintings, and the collaboration was a great success for both the CaTze day center and the Caritas "Wohnen plus" facility in Aiglsbach.
In the past, the CaTze day center has collaborated with the Caritas "Wohnen plus" facility in Aiglsbach for exhibitions. The artwork, including installations and burned art pieces, made the themes of addiction and mental illness visible. The exhibitions have been successful in raising awareness and fostering a sense of community, as art can be a powerful tool for expression and communication.
The CaTze day center's contact number for inquiries is 094411779425, and is available from Monday to Friday, 8-4 pm. The day center's team is ready to answer questions about their work and offerings, and they look forward to welcoming new participants to the Kreativos group.
In summary, the Kreativos group at the CaTze day center provides a relaxed atmosphere for participants to explore their creativity and express their unique style. Through their artwork, they are making a positive impact in raising awareness about mental health and substance abuse, and fostering a sense of community and support.
The Kreativos group, a creative outlet within the CaTze day center, aims to delve deeper into the realm of health-and-wellness, specifically mental-health, by providing a platform for participants to express their unique styles and conquer self-doubt. The artworks produced by the Kreativos group, such as soul paintings, have been showcased in exhibitions to promote awareness about mental health issues and substance abuse.
