A social prescription for children and young people
Children and young people are helped to explore where they are at along their health journey. Each will be supported to understand their feelings and why they possibly engage in things like risky behaviour or disassociate. Socialising together as a small group enables them to access important peer to peer interactions they could be missing through not attending school regularly or other social activities.
Our nature based activities take place from a countryside venue called The Snug, a cozy, converted Victorian Granary. This project is like a club, allowing the children and young people to be involved in running the sessions and choice of activities. This encourages self-worth and confidence.
Activities are many and varied, based on a countryside and nature theme, and most usually relevant to the season. Some examples being we paint horse shoes, make dream catchers, paint garden nightlight jars, make winter garlands, pick the berries and apples for preserves and even have a go at some easy to do aromatherapy.
