Art and Mental Health

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and an exhibition of artworks by some of New Zealand's most famous artists will be on show across the country as the Urban Art Foundation (UAF) and the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) encourage us to think about their theme for the week "take time to korero" and take time for our mental wellbeing - My first guest is Ellyn Rose Smith Whatley an art therapist with WellARTS in Wellington and she knows just how important art can be in helping our mental health.
