The experiences of six people with mental health problems on an arts on prescription programme are reported. The study used narrative inquiry and participants were interviewed three times over one year. Benefits were cited in terms of having a "safe place" to come to, making new friends and experiencing peer support. It also enabled some to access educational and voluntary work.
