WELCOME TO THE CREATIVE LIVING CENTRE

Mental health support built around people

For almost 30 years, the Creative Living Centre has supported people across Greater Manchester with their mental health and wellbeing.

We provide a welcoming community where people can talk, connect with others, learn practical skills and explore support that feels right for them.

From one-to-one emotional support and affordable therapies to creative activities, wellbeing courses and peer support groups, there are different ways to take part and no pressure to have everything worked out before you arrive.

Ways we can support your emotional wellbeing

You do not need to know exactly what you need before you begin. Explore the different ways we can support your mental health, confidence and wellbeing.

Courses and Workshops

Build practical skills to support your wellbeing through structured courses and focused one-off workshops.

Peer Support Groups

Connect with people who understand in a safe, welcoming and confidential space.

One-to-One Therapies

Access affordable counselling, creative therapies and massage therapy through the Centre.

Membership and your introductory session are completely free.

FREE TO JOIN

Your first step does not have to be a big one

Becoming a member gives you a place to begin. Your membership includes a free introductory session, personalised one-to-one support, a free one-week activity pass and access to the Centre’s groups, workshops, resources and therapeutic services.

There is no obligation to continue after your introductory session if you decide it is not right for you.

Mental Health Training for Organisations

The Creative Living Centre delivers practical mental health and wellbeing training for workplaces, community organisations and professionals who support others.

Our  training programmes help participants build the confidence, knowledge and practical skills needed to recognise distress, support wellbeing and have more effective conversations.

Many of our existing workshops can also be adapted for workplace and community settings.

Real support, shared in their own words

You do not need to know exactly what support you need

Becoming a member is free and begins with an informal one-to-one conversation about how you are feeling, what you would like to change and how the Creative Living Centre may be able to help. There is no pressure to continue if it does not feel right for you.
