The first Yellow Book was created in by Rethink Your Mind in 2012. It was created by those with experience of mental health challenges with the aim of providing an uplifting and inspiring wellbeing resource.
In addition to their own Yellow Book, Rethink Your Mind also collaborate with organisations, like Cygnet Health Care, to create their own personalised Yellow Book.
After the success of our first Yellow Book, which was launched in December 2021, the theme of our second edition is “I Feel Better When…”
The Yellow Book contains artwork, poetry, music and creative contributions from service users and residents across Cygnet and is a celebration of how creativity can support positive mental health.
The book can also provide a welcome distraction from our busy lives and allow us to pause and appreciate the images, words and wellbeing guidance contained within its pages.
Dr Tony Romero, Group CEO said: “It gives me great pleasure to share the second edition of the Cygnet Yellow Book, which is packed with contributions from our service users and residents across Cygnet.
“Whilst the world around us can sometimes seem busy and challenging, the solace and beauty we can find when we channel our creative ideas can transport us and help to silence the background chatter of our everyday lives.”
The second edition of the Cygnet Health Care Yellow Book will be sent out to services shortly. Service users, residents, staff, families, carers and visitors can all benefit from the inspiring works and messages within.
Thank you to our contributors whose creativity makes the book such a special and supportive resource.
