About us
Empowering Neurodiverse Children and Young People
Creative Connections Essex is dedicated to empowering children and young people, particularly those who are neurodiverse, by providing creative therapeutic opportunities that foster personal growth and well-being. Our approach encourages participants to explore their feelings and build emotional resilience in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. We focus on working in deprived areas, where access to such therapeutic resources can be limited, to ensure that every child and young person has the opportunity to thrive. Through our work, we aim to address the challenges faced by those in under-resourced communities, helping to break down barriers to social inclusion and mental health support.
Inspiring Confidence and Combating Social Isolation
At Creative Connections Essex, we use art, drama, and other creative outlets to inspire confidence, promote self-expression, and combat social isolation. Our team consists of qualified teachers, therapeutic mentors, and parents with diagnoses of neurodivergence ourselves as well as for our children. We have seen firsthand how mental health struggles can negatively impact individuals, families, and entire communities. Our approach encourages participants to explore their feelings and build emotional resilience in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.
