The rhythm of life

CAN music, singing, story-telling and dance help those with mental health problems? Yes they can, according to musician and psychiatric nurse Kevin O’Shanahan.

The rhythm of life

O’Shanahan, also arts and mental health coordinator for the West Cork Mental Health Services, plans to introduce a range of creative music groups for people in community and hospital settings across the region.

In time, he hopes to further expand this service by introducing painters, dancers, storytellers and other artists who have had experience of working in healthcare settings.
