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. You'll discover techniques, which can help reduce stress, improve focus, and bring a sense of calm. Enjoy the relaxing process of crafting with your hands and connect with others in a supportive and friendly environment. Create something unique while nurturing your wellbeing.
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. 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.
Please wear old clothes or a shirt or apron as you may get messy. You may wish to have a folder to store handouts, notes or your work. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.
