The Create for Confidence project has reached an incredibly exciting moment… We are now recruiting people to work with us to create the art and wellbeing programme!
Why are we recruiting, and who are we looking for?
Ultimately this art and wellbeing programme will be taken into schools for Year 7 students to help prevent anxiety and depression. Naomi and Liz, and the whole of the research team, strongly believe that we need to design the programme together with people who will have good insight into how the programme will be received by young people and staff involved in supporting the programme. We will therefore be running a series of workshops for two groups of people to create the programme with us. The two groups will consist of:
- A group of Young People who are 10 – 16 years old
- A group of adults who are either:
- parents of Year 7 students or parents with lived experience of anxiety or depression (their own experience, or their experience of being a parent to a child with anxiety or depression)
- mental health professionals,
- school professionals, or
- professional artists
We are now looking for people who might be interested in joining one of these groups!
What would taking part involve?
Taking part would involve attending 6 in-person workshops during 2025 (in a central Bristol venue) and reviewing work in between workshops as it is created.
Participants will be paid £25 per hour for attending workshops and reviewing documents in between workshops.
Further information and next steps
There is more information about the workshop groups for Young People, and for parents/carers of Young People who are interested in taking part. For information about the adult workshop groups.
