PROMIS at Hay Farm
Cathryn Kemp at Saatchi
Sunday, January 9th, 2011Cathryn Kemp chronicled her brave detoxification experience from powerful pain relieving medications last year in an article published in the Sun Newspaper in order to give insight into the difficultes of coming of prescribed medications and hope to others.
As well as writing about her experience at PROMIS Cathryn also spent her time creating a new body of art during this emotional and difficult time. She had a number of canvesses in her room and around our site that she was working on.
Since then the works that Cathryn created have received a good deal of public acclaim. Please take a look at them on the Saatchi Galery Website : http://www.saatchionline.com/profiles/index/id/115385
Rediscovering one’s creativity is an important part of many people’s recovery. Often we are afraid that recovery will be a hindrance to our creativity when in fact it is the opposite. Cathryn shows us this very clearly.

Clay Pigeon Shooting
Monday, April 12th, 2010On Saturday afternoon half a dozen of us went out to learn to shoot clay pigeons. We were given some excellent tuition from Peter who helped us get on target.
Recovery should also be about having fun, we have a busy therapeutic schedule at PROMIS, learning new skills, but it is also just as important to learn how to enjoy free time without our addictions. Whether it’s horse riding, climbing or shooting, we will help our patients find their recovery fun as well as uplifting.
