\u201cwhat needs to be in place to enable a therapist and person attending to agree and review meaningful changes that could be brought about by taking part in art or music therapy?\u201d <br><br>Individuals who take part in the arts psychotherapies within statutory community mental health services are often asked to fill out questionnaires at the beginning and then again at the end of art or music therapy. These questionnaires help to understand whether the sessions are helping them or not and allow comparisons with other types of therapies offered. Using repeated questions, which focus on symptoms, risks, and\/or well-being may limit opportunities to really understand the ongoing changes that can happen whilst attending the arts therapies. <br><br>The study is part of an educational qualification sponsored by NHS Lothian Research Futures in partnership with QMU. It invited persons who have attended, facilitated, managed, or been referred to the arts therapies to become co-researchers. Being a co-researcher is about making meanings together, sharing power and allowing different voices to be heard. Co-researchers attended up to two workshops in community locations across Lothian between April and October 2024. Using arts-based transformational action research the first workshop guided co-researchers in making images and music in response to the question. Actions agreed were then shared with Arts Psychotherapists who were invited to try them out in practice. The workshop was then be repeated in different locations to get a wide range of responses. The second workshop was optional. It brought co-researchers together to agree outputs, including guidelines or frameworks, and agree how to share them. <br><br><strong>For a full summary of the outcomes of the study, please see the document below.<\/strong><br><br>The study was run by Emma Maclean, NHS Lothian Music Therapist and Music Therapy Lecturer at Queen Margaret University (QMU) alongside Art and Music Therapists from the NHS Lothian Arts Psychotherapies Service.

I could escape intrusive thoughts and lose myself in creative activity, expressing emotions that were otherwise difficult to communicate.\u00a0 Time flies when I\u2019m doing some art and afterwards I feel both energised and relaxed.<br \/><br \/>I\u2019ve been a member of the NHS Lothians Arts Psychotherapies <strong>Empowerment Group<\/strong> since it formed and enjoy it immensely.
