Creative Mentoring with young people @The Make it Studio- Buxton

 

Supporting young people and children through Derbyshire County Council's Virtual School. As a Creative Mentor I work alongside the young person or child to draw out their potential, talents and interests. Our Creative Mentor service facilitates learning and new skills, development of confidence, self belief and well being.

Opportunities to talk while making and creating art is both therapeutic and useful for the young person. Making sense of thoughts feelings and ideas helps us move forward.

Making art together, enjoying colour and a sensory experience can shift difficult feelings.
