In November, Hestia Health Duran i Reynals took part in a community event marking Mental Health Day. Patients from the centre’s Subacute Unit and High Dependency Unit (ADP) joined a therapeutic theatre workshop incorporating games and group activities designed to encourage expression, creativity and emotional wellbeing.
This gathering formed part of a collaborative process involving several organisations, groups and services in the local area, united by a desire to strengthen mental health through mutual support, participation and community connections. Hestia Health Duran i Reynals occupational therapist Kanella Makri was the centre’s lead professional in this joint initiative.
The day offered a space for togetherness and creativity, combining art workshops, group activities, community action and presentations of projects developed through cultural residencies. These proposals connected mental health with art, physical and emotional wellbeing through contact with the surroundings, and the creation of meaningful relationships through shared vulnerability and collective strength.
The event was made possible through joint work with:
Baulacreix · SRC Fundación Hospitalarias · Joves per la Igualtat i la Solidaritat · ABS Collblanc and Torrassa · La Gloria Factoria · Club Social Relaciona’t + Contorno Urbano · Club Social UPH · Espai Kukut – Ocell de Foc · Miralta Adolescent Day Hospital – Fundació Orienta · Consorci Sanitari Integral · LH Blocs Florida · Contorno Urbano.
At Hestia Health, we reaffirm our intention to continue taking part in initiatives that connect community, creativity and health, contributing to spaces that promote wellbeing and collective care.
