Explore your own path, design your own journey
The Creativity for Wellbeing workbook by Mental Health Ireland uses creative tools to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and wellbeing. It includes visualisations, reflections, journaling, mindful colouring, quotes, and coaching tools. The workbook is a beautiful collection of art, illustration and mindful wisdom. Turning the pages is starting a new journey of creativity, wellbeing and self-discovery.
“This workbook encourages us to give our inner wisdom a stronger voice so we can listen with confidence,” said Gina Delaney, Mental Health Ireland Development Officer and Project Lead for Content & Coaching Guidance for the workbook.
The ROSE Model
In this wellbeing workbook, Mental Health Ireland uses the ROSE Model to create a blueprint to discover our authentic self and to begin living our lives by it. In each chapter, the reader is invited to explore an element of the ROSE Model – Reason to exist, Optimism, Self-identity, Empowerment.
The team behind the workbook have also selected creative elements and coaching tools for each chapter to support you to deepen your knowledge of what is important to you. These include visualisations, mindful colouring pages, a Wheel of Life tool, reflective questions, a values tool, and many more. The creator of the ROSE Model and Director of Kingstown College, Paula King, guided the incorporation of the model.
The Creativity for Wellbeing Workbook is beautifully illustrated by artist Dominika Stoppa who specialises in botanical illustrations, linocut prints and portraiture.
The Workbook was coproduced by a passionate group of mental health promoters, community development workers, recovery education experts, coaching experts, people with lived experience and members of the team in Mental Health Ireland.
All proceeds from the sale of the Creativity for Wellbeing Workbook will go to Mental Health Ireland (CHY 5594), a charity whose mission is to promote and enhance mental health and wellbeing and to create a culture where we are all respected and supported, especially when our mental health is challenged.
