Art is not just a hobby at Robbie’s House—it’s a pathway to healing and hard work. 🎨🏺Many people don't realize that in the mental health world, "art projects" were historically looked down upon because they were used to keep people with mental illness passively "busy." We think it's time to change that mindset completely!At Robbie's House, our creative tracks are run with the same professional discipline as any business. From hand-crafting beautiful ceramic vases for our Annual Gala to designing custom watercolor cards to check in on isolating members, our community uses art to build real, transferable job skills.Beyond the work, science backs us up: creative flow states actively lower stress hormones and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by up to 30%. Whether it's during our busy work-ordered day or our evening writing and pottery workshops, creativity keeps us connected and strong.Check out our latest article breaking down the science and heart behind what we do every day right here in Laramie! 👇🔗https://medium.com//molding-a-new-path-forward-7f56d78e5ca4?sharedUserId=robbieshouselaramie
