The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020. Mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression.

Great art course for young people starting at the centre.

This course is run by professional therapists who are experienced in working with young people. The aim of the course is to enable young people to explore thoughts, feelings and personal identity through creative expression using Art and Craft. Art based activities can develop resilience and self esteem, enabling young people to cope better with stress and anxiety. The course runs for 6 weeks which means the group get to know each other and find ways of connecting and sharing in a safe, confidential space.
Please contact Liz using the email on the poster to book a place.
