On Thursday 9th May 2024, Fullscope, Cambridge Acorn Project and Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination will together host an immersive, creative, training experience that will build knowledge, skills and understanding of how elements from Artscaping can help create therapeutic moments of care for children and young people.
Artscaping is an integral part of the work of Fullscope, a consortium of organisations united by a vision of positive mental health for all, but especially for children and young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Parts of the programme have been delivered with family therapy charity Cambridge Acorn Project. Since the programme began in 2016, we’ve learnt how Artscaping can enable communities to become safer and more supportive places for children, offering an early intervention strategy for emerging mental health concerns and support for children who may not be eligible for other programs.
I spend most of my day thinking where am I going to get help for these children. The need is so high. The link between CCI and CAP is really positive. The parents really notice and appreciate it. They come and thank me and say this is just what their children need. It fills me with joy to talk about it.
