Rose’s story

I feel more confident and brave about things. Yes, I’m proud of what I’ve done. – Rose, Young Mentee

why was Rose referred for Creative Mentoring?

At the time of referral, Rose was 15 years old and had been care experienced for around 18 months. When in mainstream school, it was identified that Rose struggled in class, being unable to process and regulate emotions in a healthy way, and preferred an alternative way of learning due to worries on top of the demands of life. There were many adults supporting Rose at the time, but it was felt that she would really appreciate an adult who was there just for her, giving her undivided attention – which is where Creative Mentoring came in.
