This programme is open to all adult carers with priority given to Parent Carers and those who are currently awaiting a carers assessment, to bridge the gap in support and offer vital respite.
Weekly sessions delivered across North Tyneside from August 2021 – March 2022. Pre booking required.
Current programme is running online Mondays 1.00 – 2.30pm.
Artists have been leading initial taster sessions with groups of parent carers, introducing them to different art forms and opening up conversations about self (beyond being a parent and a carer), the importance of taking part in art for positive mental health and wellbeing and looking at the barriers to engagement.
It’s part of our Better Connect programme which has a range of opportunities to support those who have caring responsibilities, to take time out and get creative.
