*Names have been changed to protect the identity of the young person.
Archie was 15 years old when he was referred for Creative Mentoring. He had been out of education for a significant period of time and was shortly going to be starting at a new school. This would, of course, be a big change for Archie. The professionals around Archie hoped that Creative Mentoring would support him with this upcoming change by building his confidence, self-belief and encouraging him to explore his interests in a 1:1 setting.
