I need some suggestions for fun activities for mentally ill adults?!


Question: I need some suggestions for fun activities for mentally ill adults?
my mom is the director of a center for mentally ill adults and we want to get some activities that would be fun for them but not too challenging on the body and not too difficult to figure out, good craft ideas and programs and relaxing activities like yoga would be great! I've already checked out pottery places, karate places and yoga places so suggestions other than those. if you know of a specific place that would be great! (preferably one thats available in New Hampshire)

I think it's great that you are doing this for mentally ill adults! My prayers are with you! Good luck... :) I would do picture frames as that would remind me of my loved ones and be very therapeutic. Maybe buy wooden frames and use glitter and nice stickers. I would love doing that. Get rainbow glitter lol it would be a hit for me. Also take them horse back riding because being on a horses is always therapeutic.

At our facility we have relaxation exercises/6techniques.
Also art classes dealing with collages on 'goals' or 'change', or 'self-esteem'
