Cllr Alev Cazimoglu said: “I am delighted to be invited to open such a fantastic and vibrant art exhibition.

“Engaging in artistic work has long been recognised as a positive therapeutic tool by clinicians and practitioners. The artists themselves benefit greatly from having their efforts and talent recognised and exhibited for wider appreciation.“It is essential that vulnerable people in the community have an opportunity to demonstrate their individualism through art which helps people to feel valued to grow, flourish and feel better about their recovery which prompts greater participation and community involvement. “Art can also improve their mood, self-esteem, interpersonal skills and ultimately a positive life experience.”The artworks produced on a weekly basis in the mental health service is now growing, and it has become a shared experience of great value with ongoing discussion and peer participation, which is a significant aid to recovery.The Council’s Mental Health Enablement Hub offers a safe space for vulnerable individuals to attend and explore their practical, emotional, social and creative needs in a non-judgemental environment where they can feel safe and secure.For further information on mental health support visit: www.enfield.gov.uk/services/children-and-education/local-offer/social-emotional-and-mental-health


 Enfield Council has a formal partnership with Barnet Enfield and Haringey NHS Mental Health Trust in the provision of local services for those experiencing and recovering from mental health difficulties.

Most people will approach their GP for mental health support when required. There is also an option for self-referral or by concerned family or friends. Call the NHS’ 24/7 crisis free telephone service on 0800 151 0023 which is the first point of contact for people who are in mental health crisis and who live in Barnet, Enfield and Haringey.
