Young people aged 13–18 years will participate in Room for Me, creating a miniature room or a calming space using cardboard, modelling materials, collage, magazines and small craft items. This 3D creative activity encourages participants to express their identity, interests and what helps them feel safe and grounded in a way that does not rely on verbal communication.

The workshops will be facilitated by experienced Art Therapists and Family Action staff, with clear structure, visual examples, flexible support and opportunities for children to participate at their own pace. The creative process has been carefully designed to be accessible for a range of SEND needs while encouraging imagination, communication and positive wellbeing.

At the same time, parents and carers will be invited to attend a separate session where they can connect with other families, take a break and contribute feedback on our new Inclusion Passport. This relaxed, creative environment will encourage meaningful conversation, reduce isolation and ensure families play an active role in shaping a more inclusive service.
