FREE veterans & their families group to manage & reduce anxiety or stress - by chilling with your creativity
About this Event

Join our art & crafts group and have a laugh with fellow service personnel and families.

Research has shown that crafting, regardless of the medium you use, can bolster mood, improve self-confidence, and reduce stress overall.

In addition, crafting has also shown to improve mental agility, improves both gross and fine motor movements, and also decrease cognitive decline.

Crafting additionally has been shown to be a natural anti-depressant.

Research studies have shown that those suffering from PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Insomnia and any level of chronic pain have achieved a reduction in symptoms by incorporating crafts into their lives.
