LutubeÊÓƵ

This is a discrete course for adults referred with a wide range of mental health difficulties. Most learners completed a basic Creative Crafts for Health and Wellbeing course before joining this course.

You will learn how to express yourself through your artwork in order to develop coping strategies, stress management, and to strengthen a sense of identity. You will develop your employability skills through participating in a community enterprise project. Each project will enable you to connect with others and make positive steps for a better wellbeing. You will also develop your English and maths skills in preparation for progression onto higher independence, mainstream and Community Learning courses, and voluntary and paid work.

The proportion of these hours will depend on the individual qualification(s) being undertaken. You must do the work set during these times or it will impact your progress on the course and therefore your achievement.
