Rowan Alba

Rowan Alba were awarded £119,847 in July 2024 to run their project for 36 months

A three year project seeking to support people with long term mental heath issues with or at risk of ARBD through the co-development of new self management tools, the use of these tools in regular home visits, creating informal spaces to meet and interact with health professionals as well as support in attending appointments. Learning will be gained around what tools are developed and whether they are useful to new clients, the types of support needed in home and appointments. Whether the questions asked in informal spaces can tell us about gaps in existing information and ultimately the degree to which the support impacts on self management, and whether the art specific elements that compliment provision play a particular role in reaching that impact. Rowan alba has a particular interest in what approaches are, effective in supporting people who are unable to leave the home to engage in these activities and/or broader support.
