I am about to start some voluntary work at an art centre for people with various disabilities, although I think the majority have some kind of mental illness. Also I believe the people there are adults.

As far as I know I will be assisting the other staff at the centre and generally just helping out.

So what I was wondering was if there is anybody who works in care, group settings with people who have mental health problems. Do you have any advice, links, etc for me to better help these people. I don't want to come across as condescending as these are adults and I am fairly young. 

I also hope to work as an art therapist eventually.
