Project Development And Lead FacilitatorNew Wimbledon Civic Theatre Trust 2011 - 2012Express Yourself: SAFE Project worked with students with behaviour management issues from Cricket Green School which caters for young people with moderate learning difficulties. The students worked with specialist staff in a series of art therapy based workshops. Each workshop aimed to develop the student's awareness of their own anger and how they have learnt to express it. A highly emotional session was provided by Barry Mizen whose son Jimmy was tragically murdered in 2008. The project finished with an exhibition and auction of the art work produced by the students, allowing them to see their work valued and celebrated by a wide variety of people. There was a quantifiable improvement in literacy levels and behaviours as a result of the project.
