HSBC Gozo has made a contribution towards the purchase of a single phase kiln to start a new venture using clay therapy at the Occupational Therapy Department at Gozo General Hospital.
The department caters for a number of in-patients and out-patients with psychiatric disorders. The service offered comprises daily individual and group therapy sessions.
Patients are taught how to be responsible for their own belongings and how to be more independent within their own home when they are sent back into the community.
