The Other Hand Studio at Forward House is an amazing place.

Mehdi Naimi runs the Other Hand Studio at Forward House. Mehdi is an artist, a Registered Canadian art therapist, and an art teacher who assists the members of Forward House as they begin to explore themselves through art.

Quote from Mehdi's web page...

"Life sometimes brings us turmoil. Trauma, serious illness and disability or a major change may cause such strong feelings as stress, anxiety, depression, or grief. Sometimes we need a guide, a companion, or a witness in our journey to emotional wellness. A good therapist can be all that. Good therapy empowers the person, strengthens the relationship, brings peace to the heart, and joy to life. Finding creative solutions to life's questions makes all the difference."

Mehdi offers weekly classes in a safe, enjoyable, and comfortable setting on Friday evenings.

Mehdi's students have produced some wonderful works of art while at Forward House and, although the production of art is not the goal of Mehdi's work with the members, the works continue to speak for themselves.

We have decorated our web pages with the work that has come forth from the exploration and insight found at the Other Hand Studio.
