Collaborating to scale &  implement established arts and health programmes

Join us to learn about CELEBRATE, an innovative research project focused on involving young people in mental health studies to better understand adolescent wellbeing. Led by a team of dedicated researchers, CELEBRATE aims to create a "Framework of Guiding Principles" that empowers young people, alongside parents and teachers, to shape how biological and mental health research is conducted. By promoting youth voices, this project redefines research design and fosters meaningful participation, ensuring findings reflect the diverse experiences of UK adolescents. Discover how CELEBRATE is paving the way for impactful mental health research!

We invite organisations from across the UK to join us and explore national impact and scalability for arts and health programmes. There will be an opportunity for sharing learning and we hope the day offers an opportunity to network with a view to developing new partnerships across the sector.The event will take place at English National Ballet, Mulryan Centre for Dance, on 27th June and will feature workshops, discussion sessions and presentations.Read more about the Shaper study here: <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/shaper" title="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/shaper" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/shaper</a>This event is for organisations and individuals with an interest in scaling arts and health programmes, including established artists and organisations delivering arts and health, researchers, health partners and commissioners.
