Tradition meets creativity: successful Advent market in Neunkirchen
As part of a long tradition, the Advent market recently took place in the day clinic of the clinical department for psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine at the University Hospital Neunkirchen. In the weeks earlier, the patients made their work with a lot of commitment and creativity and created beautiful handmade works of art from different materials.
The solemn opening of the market was carried out by the responsible persons, including Christian Wunsch, the department head, as well as Maria Aichinger and Johann Ungersböck, the clinic management. This event is not only an important event for those involved, but also a way to make the progress of the patients visible. You can present your work and thus show part of your experiences of the public.
The importance of the Advent market
The Advent market has established itself as a valuable platform to promote the creative expression of the patient. Not only is the artistry promoted, but also strengthened the sense of community. It shows that people who fight with psychological challenges can preserve a voice through creativity. The prefabricated works of art range from handmade jewelry to decorative Christmas articles and testify to the variety of talents of the participants.
These events create a positive atmosphere and promote the exchange not only among the patients, but also with the wider community. Visitors to the market have the opportunity to acquire the products, which means that they support the art and craft of patients. This support can make an important contribution to strengthening the self -confidence of the artists.
In addition to the stalls, there was also information about the therapeutic work that is done in the clinic. Experts were ready to educate the various therapy offers and to get into conversation with interested parties. This helps to create an understanding of the challenges with which people are faced in psychiatry and contributes to reducing prejudices.The joy of the exhibition and the sale of the works of art was noticeable for everyone involved. Any questions from visitors were answered in a friendly manner, and the patient's pride was felt on their creations. Such events illustrate how important it is to integrate creative processes into therapeutic work.
for the team of the clinic, including occupational therapists such as Lisa Knabl-Sevcik and Angelika Behm-Maleschitz, the Advent market is a successful opportunity to demonstrate the success of their work and to support the patients in their creative development. All participants are pleased that their efforts and commitment find recognition.
Overall, one can say that the successful Advent market in the University Hospital Neunkirchen not only continues a beautiful tradition, but can also address important aspects of the healing process. The interaction of art and therapy impressively shows how valuable creativity can be for recovery.
