Absolutely. At the Douglas, we offer a lot of creative activities. We have a creative group at PEPP–Montréal, and we invite people to come and participate. One of our participants is a woman with a history of psychosis and who is now doing her master’s degree in art therapy. She did a presentation recently at a theatre in Montreal about her whole experience, and she has also been actively involved in theatre with patients. It’s a very good medium of therapy, and it can help people who like the arts.
