Community Learning Disabilities Team Art Project 2020

Staff working in MPFT’s Community Learning Disabilities Teams across South Staffordshire have been using art to visually express their continued commitment to their colleagues and service users during COVID-19.

The online gallery below has been produced featuring pieces from 12 clinicians working to support people with Learning Disabilities in the community.

The works feature a range of styles and are each accompanied by messages of positivity and support from staff in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
