Situation
The Covid 19 pandemic has dramatically disrupted life for school aged children and young people. Research shows that youth mental health conditions and anxiety are on the rise as a direct result of the pandemic. Young people are more nervous than ever about returning to school and will be feeling under pressure to make up for lost time whilst preparing for exams - all of which can add further stress to young lives during these uncertain and challenging times.
Solution
Eastside will deliver a creative recovery programme focussed on improving the wellbeing and confidence of the most disadvantaged children and young people. We will provide safe, enjoyable, heartwarming creative activities delivered in school (or online), led by skilled artists and practitioners, enabling young people to creatively express themselves, building their confidence and resilience as they adjust to life back at school.
