Description
This course will teach you how to establish an art journaling peer support group. You will learn new skills and develop existing ones, with a view to running your own group with a focus on wellbeing and creativity. This course builds on the previous art journaling Brightside courses and is for learners who have attended some of these.
Brightside courses are free and are for anyone experiencing mental health difficulties. Brightside courses might help you gain confidence and improve your self-esteem.
When you take part in a Brightside course, you will also complete a learning journal, recording new skills, any questions you may have and how you feel about your learning journey.
Who is this course for?
This course is for learners who have been attending the Art Journaling courses run by Brightside. The course has been designed to enable students to set up a peer support group. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.
How will I learn?
This is a classroom-based course and is the culmination of four terms of the art journaling course. The tutor will lead the sessions, providing information and ideas and guiding you through the process of setting up a peer support group. Learners will play an integral part in these sessions and will work in pairs, small groups and as a whole group. Art projects will form part of the sessions and speakers will also be invited from other groups and organisations as part of one or two of the sessions. Your tutor will be there to give you support and feedback.
What will I need?
The tutor will supply resources but you may want to bring some of your own resources too, if you have them, such as: scissors, paints, brushes, pens, pencils and different patterned papers. Please bring a notepad and pen.
Are there any other costs?
This course is free and there are no other costs.
