Nurturing Wellbeing Through Creativity
This is a 5 week course running on Fridays 10.30am – 12.00pm from Fri 27th Feb – Friday 27th March
Drama for the Heart is a new friendly, welcoming group for parent carers — a space to relax, connect, and rediscover yourself through creativity, laughter, and shared stories.
💖 Why Drama? Taking part in drama isn’t about being a performer — it’s about expression, connection, and joy.
Here’s how it helps:
🌿 Emotional Wellbeing
- Reduces stress and anxiety through play and laughter
- Builds confidence and self-esteem
- Encourages expression in a safe, supportive space
- Promotes relaxation and mindfulness
- Lifts mood and restores a sense of balance
💬 Connection & Community
- Creates new friendships and shared understanding
- Boosts communication and listening skills
- Offers belonging, support, and encouragement
- Provides a space where carers feel seen and valued
🧠 Creativity & Focus
- Sparks imagination and problem-solving
- Keeps the mind active and engaged
- Encourages empathy and new perspectives
💪 Body & Energy
- Gentle movement improves flexibility and coordination
- Laughter and activity release natural “feel-good” endorphins
- Builds overall resilience and wellbeing
🌸 For Parent Carers
- Time just for you — to relax and recharge
- A reminder of your strengths and talents beyond caring
- A joyful, creative boost for the heart and mind ahead of the weekend!
Duration: The group will initially run for a 5 week block. We hope to be able to continue ‘Drama for the heart’ if there is enough interest 😊
