Evaluation
Junior Art & Soul
​
In 2021 Art & Soul commissioned an external evaluation of our 'Junior Art & Soul' project. This was a pilot art and wellbeing project working with children and young people accessing Child and Adolescent Mental Heath Services (CAMHS) in South West London between October 2020 and July 2021.
The project aimed to support young people either accessing, or on waiting lists for mental health support in the borough.
​
Junior Art & Soul was made possible by The Baring Foundation and was run in partnership with Achieving for Children, the Priory Hospital, Springfield Hospital and the Emotional Health Service

What our community says
It matters a lot to come to this group. And I feel great
- I really do
It's a sense of community. You feel like you belong to something.
I'd never tried art before. And it's made me a more independent person.
It's time for me. It allows me to gain some self-confidence.
By being expressive, you don't need your feelings dampened down. You need to get them out.
