Core Young Minds works with young adults to help them connect visually to their thoughts and feelings.
Art journaling CONNECTS with young peoples mental health and encourages REGULAR participation with their journals enabling a visual safe place to acquire skills to express themselves & help them through challenging times.
CORE YOUNG MINDS focuses on children and young adults 11-18 years old offering creative well being workshops using Art Journaling as a consistent wellbeing tool in the lives of young adults wanting to explore, develop and look at their thoughts and feelings.

For beginners and no art experience needed my art journaling sessions will be giving teens creative guidance how to unload emotionally and build mental health resilience through visual connections to feelings and thoughts.
NB: This is not clinical therapy. I am a Youth mental health first aider with experience working in the mental health sector.
I have worked withNHS CAMHS facilitating art journaling workshops for vulnerable young adults. We work with shutting down negative inner critic, unloading thoughts and feelings and making connections to emotions.
