Mental Health
Resources and Providers
Skeyez N' Starz recognizes the need for the availability of mental health resources. To do our part we have included a list of resources and references in the greater Houston area to assist in finding the help needed. We are always open to expanding our network with professional references. If you have or know of an entity that would like to assist, feel free to share the information via the contact form below.
The Arts can make a powerful contribution to our mental health.
Engaging in the arts seems to be growing in popularity as a way to improve your wellbeing. Participating in the arts can enable people to deal with a wide range of mental ill-health conditions and psychological distress.
The best part is that it helps people to improve their mental health through creativity. Making art is helping many people express themselves, without having to use words.
Arts can create a feeling of community
The arts also help at a community level. As we age, we might face isolation through a loss of social connections, such as friends, family and workplace - as well as other limitations such as decreasing physical health.
Through getting involved in arts programs, people in later life can rebuild their social connections and extend existing support in their communities. Getting in touch with others helps in alleviating loneliness and isolation. This is also true for care homes, where arts activities can help increase social interactions between residents and residents and staff which can improve mood and wellbeing.
