FREE Easter Holiday creative workshops to help improve mental wellbeing in children aged 8-13 years.
This Easter Signals is working with Essex Libraries to offer a series of free creative workshops. Made possible with funding from the Carnegie Trust, the project aims to educate 8-13 year olds in topics including managing stress, relaxation, gratitude, the effect of food or physical activity on mood etc. All whilst having fun and sharing their experiences with others.
We want to help children feel more connected and included in their community, allowing them to make positive lifestyle choices. It will also allow us to gain a better understanding of the issues facing children currently and how best to tackle these.
To encouraging young people to embrace creativity as a self-help, a selection of FREE workshops are available during the Easter holidays.
