Mental health, social inclusion and arts: developing
the evidence base
By Jenny Secker, Helen Spandler, Sue Hacking, Lyn Kent and Jo Shenton
Abstract
This article outlines two strands of the national research study Mental health, social inclusion and arts: developing the evidence base that directly involved arts and mental health project participants. These were an outcomes study providing quantitative evidence of the benefits of arts participation for people with mental health needs and qualitative case studies with six arts and mental health projects. The case studies explored how people benefited from arts participation. The outcome study results provide evidence of empowerment, mental health and social inclusion gains with benefits. The case studies identified eight processes through which benefits were achieved.
