Description
All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven ‘purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning. This course will help you to maintain or improve your mental health and wellbeing. Being creative can help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression and can help you express or manage emotions in a positive and productive way.
This course is for you if you have mild to moderate mental health problems and want to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Our Tailored Learning courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.
This is a classroom-based course but you may also spend some time outdoors taking photographs. There will be practical activities with guidance from your tutor. You will be given group tasks and can work on your own projects. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.
You will need to bring a camera or a smartphone that can take photographs.
This course is free and there are no other costs.
