ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
A pilot art-making and mental health recovery project addressed consumer and carer mental health and well-being in Suva, Fiji.METHOD:
Using feedback surveys, the project evaluated initial training, and a 12-month art programme for consumers, carers and staff across several mental health services.RESULTS:
First person and stakeholder group reports from the project reflected broad-scale approval for the novel modality and its potential for continued application in keeping with local cultural values. A broad stakeholder base was involved in planning and participation, aligned with the values of inclusive recovery-oriented mental health service approaches.CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that the programme can add value to mental health care being provided for people with a mental illness in Fiji.Palabras clave
