From the team at MakeShift comes this playful, engaging, and heart-lifting book of medicine – with a difference! A practical guide to taking mental health care into your own hands, literally, Creative First Aid explores the proven positive effects of making something on your mental health, whether it be a garden, a piece of art, a story, a meal… the list is endless. Caitlin Marshall and Lizzie Rose delve into the science of creativity and how being curious, playful, and creative can change – and perhaps even save – your life. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist afraid of failing, this inspiring book reminds me that the act of creating something can just be for the enjoyment of it, and not for a marketable or assessable product. After all, you don’t have to be good at art for art to be good for you.
