Olivia’s story

Olivia came in very closed off – but as soon as she started her art she immediately became engaged.

background to the referral

Olivia* was seven years old when she was referred to us at The Mighty Creatives as part of our Creative Mentoring in Schools pilot. Olivia was facing some challenges with self-regulating, while also presenting with very low confidence and self-esteem. It was felt that Olivia would really benefit from Creative Mentoring, as she had a real passion for arts and crafts. Olivia needed someone with patience, who would give her time to help her build confidence.
