Best For You


Best For You is running four free art workshops in August. Young people, families, and carers will make art while inspiring the future of mental health services for young people!

About the workshops

The workshops will happen virtually. You’ll only need some basic equipment – the Eventbrites have more information about what you’ll need.

Best For You is especially keen to welcome people with experience of using mental health services to these workshops. You don’t need experience of art or design to take part.

There are four workshops in total. You need to book a place through Eventbrite.
