Falling UP Together (SCIO)

Charity registered in Scotland SC051447

Falling UP Together (SCIO) delivers artistic mentoring and creative collaborative opportunities to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing for people who are suffering from chronic mental illness, as well as those who are currently mentally healthy. Activities are both indoors (studio based) and outdoors in woodland areas. Falling UP Together (SCIO)'s mission is to introduce into Scotland an innovative art, mental illness and recovery model for public benefit. This will be ecologically sustainable mental healthcare through artistic lifestyles within culture, inspired by the innovative, world-renowned Gugging system in Austria. This mission is based on PhD research into Gugging's system which integrates mentally ill people both culturally and socially, through a destigmatising long term approach.
