I’ve told my friends about our sessions and they all want to come! – Catherine, Young Mentee

why was Catherine referred for Creative Mentoring?

Catherine was referred for Creative Mentoring by her Education Support Officer when she was 9 years old. She had recently moved to a new foster placement and a new school, so was dealing with lots of change and learning to trust the new adults around her at school. Professionals involved in her care felt that working with a Creative Mentor would help Catherine to believe in herself, as well as building a positive relationship through meaningful experiences. She had expressed a love of drawing, colouring and engaged in these activities at home and at school.
