The Create Project / Prosiect Creu
The Possibilities are Endless
The Create Project is a creativity project. The Create Project works with groups of young people experiencing mental health challenges to discover new and exciting forms of independant creative collaborations with professionals from the creative arts and media industries.
The Create Project has played an integral role in improving the wellbeing of numerous young people in North Wales. Giving them new creative skills, new approaches to dealing with their challenges and new friendships, confidence and hope.
The Create Project has provided a really brilliant and unique kind of opportunity for a number of the young people that are known to CAMHS in Conwy. I believe that the project has contributed significantly to their recovery and maintenance of their emotional wellbeing.
Dr Helen Fitzpatrick (Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist)
Create is a completely open ended creative project designed to evolve and adapt to the interests of the group. The project explores a wide range of creative outlets, but always driven by the interests and wishes of the group.
This means we could be doing any of the following…
filmmaking, acting, rapping, dancing, doodling, writing, scripting, drawing, building computer games, photographic & digital image editing, day dreaming, composing, beat-boxing, drumming, designing light shows, directing theatre, sound engineering, performing, producing, cooking, eating, chatting and more!
I was interested to hear how diverse and talented your team were in working with the young people in order to have their needs meet and developing their interests and not working to a specific rigid model.
