Imagining Futures is a programme combining mental wellness strategies and arts practice for young women living in Lambeth or Southwark.
MINDFULNESS • DRAMA • SPOKEN WORD • PHOTOGRAPHY • MUSIC
Imagining Futures uses drama, creative writing, music, photography and film combined with dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to support mental wellness of young women aged 14-18. The project supports young women whose immediate and longer-term mental health may be affected by issues including self-harm, social exclusion, exploitation, vulnerability, deprivation and gang association.
This project is aimed at young women who live in Southwark or Lambeth and have a history of self-harm or are at risk of self-harm.
