We call it Arts for Wellbeing – it’s for children who might be struggling with things like anxiety or low mood, lack of confidence or self-esteem, young people who might feel socially isolated and just want a bit of time out with other like-minded young people.
We have recently secured funding to have a counsellor available at the sessions on a Wednesday – this is free to access and once children start attending the sessions parents/carers can speak to staff about accessing the counsellor.
During all sessions Elle, Project Lead offers a variety of arts and crafts activities and more, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. You can choose how much or how little you do, and we want to hear your ideas about how we can make it better – these sessions are for you!
We also have a CAMHS worker Junior GAP sessions. This offers a great opportunity for a joined-up approach to supporting participants.
For these sessions and more information please contact Elle on 07821873424 or elle@glossopartsproject.org
