Improving Personal Health & Wellbeing Through The Arts

Staff Wellbeing

Creative Solutions to Re-energise, Reconnect, and Support Your Team

At Arts Care, we believe that a creative workplace is a healthy workplace. Our Staff Wellbeing Services offer bespoke arts-based workshops designed to improve mental health, strengthen team relationships, and support workplace transformation. Whether your goal is to bring staff back together after remote working, boost morale, or reduce stress, our programmes are tailored to meet your organisation’s unique needs.

Boosting Team Spirit Through Creative Expression

Our workshops use the arts as a tool to build connection, encourage communication, and re-ignite workplace energy. Delivered by professional artists with experience in health and community settings, each session offers a supportive, inclusive space where staff can unwind, connect, and explore their creativity.

Whether it’s a hands-on painting session, a collaborative mural project, or a joyful music or movement workshop, we help staff tap into the benefits of creative expression to feel more focused, relaxed, and connected to each other.

Designed Around Your Goals

Every programme is developed in consultation with you. We take time to understand your business goals and challenges, whether that’s team cohesion, strategic planning, or stress reduction, and design a creative experience that meets your needs. Sessions can take place on-site at your business or we can source another location to suit.

From professional development to mental health and wellbeing days, our creative approach brings people together and helps organisations thrive.

A Wide Range of Creative Experiences

Our staff wellbeing workshops are highly flexible and can include:

  • Team Building & Conflict Resolution: Foster trust, collaboration, and healthy communication.
  • Strategic Planning & Visioning: Use visual arts and storytelling to explore goals and priorities creatively.
  • Creative Away Days: Reward your team with an inspiring day of hands-on activity and reflection.
  • Environmental Transformations: Co-create murals or artwork that revitalise your workplace and reflect your values.
  • Visual Arts: Explore a wide variety of mediums including watercolour, clay, silk painting, casting, and mixed media.
  • Music & Singing: Enjoy uplifting group sessions with instruments, choirs, and rhythm-based activities.
  • Dance & Movement: Gentle, energising sessions such as yoga and Laban dance promote relaxation and team cohesion.
  • Creative Writing & Poetry: Support wellbeing and communication through the power of words.
  • Clown Doctors Workshops: Bring play, laughter, and circus skills into the workplace for confidence building and team bonding.

Memorable, Meaningful, and Measurable

Whether you’re running a corporate training day, hosting a staff conference, or looking to transform your environment, Arts Care’s wellbeing services deliver lasting value. Many of our clients return again and again because our creative sessions inspire genuine connection, reduce stress, and support a positive work culture.
