Kelheim sees Catze collaborating with Housing Plus, aiming to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction through painting initiatives.

The Caritas Kelheim day center, located in Germany, has recently introduced a new group called Kreativos. This special art therapy group meets every Wednesday morning and offers a unique approach to creativity and self-expression.

The Kreativos group is designed to help individuals overcome self-doubt and foster creativity. By providing a supportive group environment, participants are encouraged to express themselves freely without fear of judgment. Through guided creative activities and collaborative projects, members build confidence in their artistic abilities and personal expression.

The Kreativos group's focus is on the process and joy of creation, rather than the outcome. This approach nurtures creativity and serves as a healing tool, enabling participants to explore and process emotions, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. By focusing on the process of creation rather than the final product, the Kreativos group empowers individuals to embrace their unique artistic voices and develop a more positive self-image.

The group's activities vary, with participants painting, drawing, creating collages, or repurposing old books for art journaling. This versatility allows each individual to find their preferred medium and explore their creativity in a way that suits them best.

In a recent collaboration with the Caritas "Wohnen plus" facility in Aiglsbach, the Kreativos group planned an exhibition titled "soul paintings". The exhibition, which took place in mid-May at the Leibersdorf swimming pool, showcased the artwork, installations, and fired artworks from the group. The themes of addiction and mental illness were made visible through these pieces, shedding light on the struggles faced by many and the power of art as a therapeutic tool.

The "soul paintings" exhibition was a resounding success for both the "Wohnen plus" team and the Kreativos. Participants received much appreciation and positive, sometimes moving feedback from visitors, validating their unique styles and reinforcing the importance of their work.
