lapidus scotland
Glasgow
Lapidus Scotland is an independently constituted voluntary association and is
managed by a committee who have skills and experience in facilitating words for
wellbeing. We are affiliated to Lapidus International, a membership
organisation, and adhere to the same ethical code. Since 1996 Lapidus Scotland
has looked to explore and expand knowledge and understanding of the value of
words. We have worked with people, groups and organisations across Scotland,
offering reading and writing activities to promote health and wellbeing (often
referred to as ‘bibliotherapy’). Our programmes offer a creative approach to
supporting self-management of long-term conditions and can e.g. help with mild
to moderate depression, isolation, dementia, recovery from stroke and other
illnesses that impact on individual identity. Our facilitators work with
statutory and voluntary organisations across a range of settings. We also offer
networking and training events for wellbeing practitioners.
