Art Wise Renfrewshire

Activity Description

🎨 Get creative, meet other parents, and bond with your child through creativity and play!

Art Wise Renfrewshire is a free parent and child therapeutic art programme supporting families to thrive and stay connected. (Children must be aged 4-11.)

This programme aims to help families meet their individual needs, build stronger bonds, and have fun through creativity and play. In this programme, you’ll get support to better understand your child’s behaviour and develop tools to connect and communicate with them. We’ll also help you support your child to identify their own needs and develop coping strategies using art and creativity.

Working with a qualified Art Therapist and Wellbeing Support Worker, you will have a mix of parents/carer only sessions, followed by whole family creative play sessions after school. 👩‍🎨

🍎 Art Wise is free to attend, snacks are provided, and we can reimburse your travel costs from locations across Renfrewshire.

In this programme, you will have the opportunity to connect with other parents in your local community, access peer support, and find local support networks to help with other aspects of family life including benefits, welfare, food security, relationship support, nutrition, and more.
