Blue Light Blue is offered at a cross-roads where the arts, artists and creative processes are supporting the care, development and growth of our most vulnerable,

and potentially most valuable young people.

​

The arts are recognised for their ability to help improve self-expression, -confidence,

-motivation.  Participation in the arts give young people a voice, helps articulate their story, make sense of the world and achieve understanding, build trust and articulate aspiration. Our programme uses these attributes as tools to address challenges to mental well-being and helps with first steps towards a wider horizon of support and encouragement.

​

This bespoke scheme, of participatory creative workshops, visits to arts events and supported engagement with cultural venues, involves young people exploring and co-designing best practice in arts and mental well-being provision.  It helps them develop an individualised programme of activity in line with UK movements in self-directed care.

​

 We take a Social Pedagogy approach to our delivery and are supported by child psychology inputs to underscore the value creativity as a tool for learning, development and emotional well-being.
