Good practice for self-care - Many practitioners involved in delivering creative activities for others forget to find the time and techniques to look after themselves and ensure that their own health and wellbeing are supported. This workshop will introduce approaches to self-care and provide opportunities to share ideas so that you can continue to support yourself and others effectively. 
Improving mental health and wellbeing - As well as exploring the benefits of creativity for mental wellbeing, this session includes mental health awareness, maintaining healthy boundaries, and safe and ethical practice. Participants will have the opportunity to begin developing ideas for their own projects and activities. 
Outcomes and evaluation focuses on the importance of evaluating your activities or project – why and what you should evaluate, different approaches and popular and appropriate evaluation tools. An essential session for anyone running arts and health activities.
Writing funding bids and applications will show you how to research and select the right funder for your project, structure your funding bid and become more confident and skilled in writing your bid to make you and your project stand out. 
Delivering creative activities for social prescribing provides an opportunity for you to find out more about social prescribing models and the contribution your creative practice could make. You will explore the various considerations involved and discuss how to present your proposals.
Creativity and dementia good practice explores the benefits of creativity for people living with dementia. You will have a brief introduction to dementia awareness, learn how to tailor your practice so it is accessible and engaging, and get advice about working in specific settings.
