When: Where: The Living Room, Leigh Road Cost: Free to attend
Do You See Me? By Havens Hospices
On the 5th and 6th July, Havens Hospices will feature in the Leigh Art Trail hosting an art exhibition in The Living Room on Leigh Road. Each beautiful, expressive piece of art that will be displayed has been created during counselling sessions or wellbeing support groups, empowering children to explore their experiences of living and caring for someone they love who has an incurable condition, or the impact of having a complex condition themselves.
Death and dying can be a tricky subject to talk about, no matter your age. Our Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Team find many youngsters can often feel invisible, trying to process feelings that even adults don’t fully understand. But for children, art can help them express things that are too hard to verbalise.
Art and creative therapy are valuable tools to help children express thoughts and feelings that can be too hard to verbalise. Creative techniques like painting, drawing and poetry open up conversations with children and often evokes memories of their loved one who has died.
