| Recipient Org: Description | Art in Mind uses art to raise awareness of mental health issues experienced by young people. Meeting two hours a week young people aged 16 - 25 with mental health issues volunteer to run art workshops. Through informal peer to peer interactions, open discussion and inclusive group activities in a safe, non-judgemental space, volunteers share by externalising their respective experiences of mental health issues in a creative way; alleviating social isolation, developing a better understanding of each other, forging friendships, a sense of belonging and new ways of coping. AiM volunteers will run workshops for young people in their wider community challenging discriminatory behaviours and negative stereotypes to create a greater empathy, sensitivity and understanding of young people who experience mental health issues. The primary aim of securing funding is to increase volunteer participation for young people who are recovering from mental health issues. Often as a result of poor mental health young people experience low self-esteem and a lack of confidence which prevents them from having fulfilling lives. Through active participation in all levels of project delivery volunteers are supported in improving their autonomy and employability skills and can take control of their recovery and self-direct pathways to change. |
