The latest tool proven to help people express their feelings and emotions and ignite more meaningful conversations between patients and their health professionals is being introduced by Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust this Mental Health Awareness Week (16-22 May 2016).

The Doodle Pad was discovered by Kate Smith, 41 - an award winning children's illustrator, designer and workshop leader from Borrowash in Derbyshire, who used drawing and creativity to release all that was in her head when she was admitted into the Radbourne Unit, an acute mental health hospital, in Derby.
