Art for Wellbeing – 6 week course

In these groups we’ll explore how art can boost our wellbeing. It's about having fun and enjoying, no need to draw perfectly.

About this group

Beginning Thursday 7 November until Thursday 12 December. 
Join our 6-week art group designed for young neurodivergent and/or disabled people aged 13-25.  In these groups we’ll explore how art can boost our wellbeing. You don’t need to be good at drawing – these sessions are all about experimenting, having fun, and enjoying the process rather than trying to draw perfectly. We’ll play with different mediums like paint and pencils. Through creative prompts and activities, we’ll think about how to express our feelings and tell our own stories through art. There will be optional mindfulness and movement breaks to help us feel present and ready to create. A free resource pack, including some materials and a sketchbook, will be posted to you.
If you have any questions, want to let us know your accessibility needs or just want to chat ahead of the groups, please feel free to email us: Hub@kids.org.uk

Our groups are designed to help you to support your own wellbeing. Our staff will support you to make friends, have fun and do activities that feel good. But we are not trained counsellors or therapists and this is not a crisis service. If you are unwell, please take a look at our Help page for suggestions of where you can find support.

We want everyone who takes part in Kids Virtual Services to feel welcome and safe.

Kids have set out this code of conduct so that everyone who takes part in virtual services can have a good time.

Every group is different and has different needs so you may like to add extra rules however we expect all groups to follow the rules below as a minimum:

  • Keep each other safe. If you see or hear something you are worried about, please report it to a Kids colleague.
  • Make new people feel welcome and encourage them to take part.
  • Respect everyone else in the group even if you disagree with them.
  • Take turns speaking. Listen to other people and do not interrupt.
  • Do not bully others.
  • Do not use bad language or be offensive
  • Do not share or show rude pictures or videos
  • Respect the privacy of other people in the group. If someone has shared something private in the group do not share this outside the group.
  • Do not feel pressured to share things you do not want to.
