About this Event
What is this event?
This is a welcoming, relaxed evening for parents, carers and young people to feel supported, informed and connected — while getting a taste of our flagship creative project for young people, In The Mix.
Parents and carers and young people will take part in separate activities during the event. While parents and carers meet, chat and share experiences together, the young people will join a separate creative taster session in our studio, led by friendly and experienced facilitators.
Both sessions will be welcoming, relaxed and pressure-free.
For parents and carers
- Talk openly and share experiences with other parents and carers.
- Receive practical advice and signposting to local support.
- Find out more about creative mental health programmes, including In The Mix.
- Spend time in a supportive space with no pressure or judgement.
For young people
- Take part in a separate, gentle creative taster session away from the parent and carer discussion.
- Explore music, animation and digital art.
- Build confidence, express yourself and meet other young people.
- Work with friendly, experienced facilitators.
- Use a quiet space if needed.
No previous experience is needed. The young people’s session is designed to be welcoming, relaxed and low-pressure, with no expectation to perform, speak in front of others or do anything they don’t feel comfortable with.
