Summary

It is well documented that the creation of art can be used as an effective tool to alleviate stress. Pregnancy can be such a wonderful period of time for so many new and expecting mothers, but it can also bring up an array of emotions such as anxiety, vulnerability, and stress. Any Mum Can: Creative Well-being for Pregnancy is a free well-being course that aims to support individuals navigating these early stages of motherhood through the act of MAKING.

Those attending will participate in weekly creative workshops lead our tutor, Lucy Goodson (MA). Each week students will be provided with a different art medium (i.e. paper collage, paint, felt, pencil) and will be tasked with a creative activity. It is the hope that learners carrying out these creative activities will be able to work through any maternal-specific related fears/anxieties in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

The workshops will be very casual, creating an enjoyable atmosphere and providing individuals with the opportunity to connect with other local parents at similar stages of their maternal journey.
