Creative Arts and Mentoring an enrichment offering to young people is an exciting and engaging program with challenging, stimulating, fun and developmental Art activities specialising in drawing, painting, and more. Young people will be involved in learning the fundamentals of art, or a range of art activities. Bespoke sessions, working with young people closely, with a hands-on approach to wellbeing through art.

The focus is on equipping the child/young person and instilling an understanding of neurodiversity, burnout and how it may impact the young person who has it. This could include providing anger management sessions, as well as sessions on anxiety, equipping young individuals with coping mechanisms and tools to manage low mood, self-esteem, and depression. Additionally, we provide a young person with calming strategies and self-regulation techniques, as well as self-care and relaxation skills.

Formal and informal mentoring is the type of mentoring most people are probably familiar with. Our young people feel supported and foster a sense of accountability, regular meetings, and in some part to concretely track the progress and development of the young persons.

Wellbeing mentoring improves the mental health & well-being, and aspirations, of the young person. A powerful engagement tool to engage, build trust with the young person, and provide much-needed mental health support through context-specific life coaching and 1-1 mentoring.

We recognise that most, if not all, families dealing with challenging behaviour are affected by trauma, which can both trigger and be triggered by the behaviours. We, therefore, prioritise self-care for parents by supporting and running groups of parents/carers of children displaying behaviours of concern. Parents learn to become a positive, authoritative presence in a young person’s life and are supported in improving the relationship with the young individual. 

• De-escalate difficult situations 

• Take a firm stance against challenging behaviour

• Develop a robust network of supporters. 

We teach this using the NVR approach which is trauma-informed, nurture-focused on rebuilding the relationship between a parent/carer and young person, and recognised by CAMHS.

Enterprise education is the provision of learning opportunities that help young people develop the attitude, knowledge, and skills of the entrepreneur.

These abilities will benefit the individual in their future lives as entrepreneurs, employees, and citizens of the global community.
