Through our project, we work hand in hand with the staff across the psychiatric wards and facilities our volunteers visit. We collaborate most closely with clinical psychologists: they oversee our volunteers on the wards, facilitate initial contact with patients, provide regular supervision, and serve as our primary liaisons with the facility overall.

We are equally grateful for the dedication and support of the wider multidisciplinary team we regularly interact with: nurses, psychiatrists, ergotherapists, and healthcare support staff. Our activities are designed to complement their work and ease daily workloads by introducing key elements of recovery: activation, compassionate social connection, and meaningful spaces for relaxation and self-expression.

Throughout our volunteer work, we continuously draw on the expertise of these professionals, maintain clear boundaries around the volunteer role, and view our collaboration as an opportunity for mutual learning and enrichment.
