@heatheredwardsm @CultureImpacts Thanks so much Heather - hope you're well! Actually, really sorry, I should have thought to invite you to this - I was speaking with somebody who had run a music for dementia project. Here's the case study about it in case it's of interest to you! https://t.co/Ql0Y3smttP

Big thanks to the National Centre for Academic & Cultural Exchange @CultureImpacts for featuring my #CreativeHealth projects with academics as a new Case Study + inviting me to speak at their summer showcase today about how the arts can humanise research https://t.co/TCkYzj1vgj

Great #CreativeHealth session this week with a super new cohort of Year 1 @BSMSMedSchool students. We explored biophillic hospital design, green #socialprescribing and drew items from nature together whilst listening to forest sounds🍃#medicaleducation #medicalhumanities

@heatheredwardsm @BSMSMedSchool Yes it's suddenly freezing! My friend went sea swimming yesterday too! 🥶I'll email you Heather! : )

A fantastic privilege to be running a new course on Creative Health with some very talented Y2's at @BSMSMedSchool. I loved the striking imagery they produced depicting health conditions for the 'doctor' to guess - Covid & Migraine with aura #clinicalhumanities #medicalhumanities

@heatheredwardsm @BSMSMedSchool thanks so much Heathert! Just worked out my account was 'protected' - have changed it now so maybe it will work! Hope you're well! : )

Over the moon to be awarded an @ace_national #DYCP grant to create a child #mentalhealth resource. Great scoping stage with 9-12 yo exploring positive imagery, emotions & self compassion. Thanks to some fantastic pupils and Priory + Hamsey schools in Sussex for having me!

[Ali Winstanley @WellbeingEngage]

Loved working with the Youth Resilience Unit @QMULResilience recently running arts + #mentalhealth workshops with a fantastically insightful group of 8-9 year olds at Brampton Primary School, Newham - some amazing ideas & images around mental health and how to build #resilience

If you have a child who suffers from anxiety here's a story that might give you hope.

Three years ago my son was experiencing terrible anxiety &panic attacks. He struggled to get into school/college & rarely left the house. The short train ride to Brighton was a challenge.

Fantastic to work as a creative facilitator on the 'Unlocking Data' project with @BSMSMedSchool @DrElizabethFord recently, using creative tools to explore participants' perceptions of sharing health data. Some great discussions & visual depictions, thanks to a super focus group!
