Creative Conversations seeks to capture some of the experiences that youth theatre groups have come up against throughout the pandemic and challenge our understanding of what youth theatre is and can be.

In this discussion, join host Jo Sharp and some special guests as they explore and discuss the role the arts and youth theatre can play in supporting young people’s mental health during, and after, the pandemic. This session will touch on areas such as social prescription and the place of the arts in the broader health agenda, as well as offer some practical tips for practitioners to signpost and support any young people who show signs of distress.

Panellists: Angela Gray (Tonic Arts), Megan Hatcher (Art Therapist, NHS Lothian), Julie Brown (Toonspeak), Orla Murray (Youth Champion, See Me Scotland)
