The Growing Up Workshop

Growing up and starting our periods brings about lots of change — to our bodies, our feelings, and our relationships. This fun, creative workshop gives parents and children a chance to spend some dedicated time together, learn about these changes and explore what can help us feel good as we grow in a creative and supportive environment.

Parent and child will create and decorate their own self-care box and fill it full of things that make them feel good, bring them joy, and practical things they may need during times of change.

Topics covered will be:

A gentle introduction to periods, period products and how our bodies begin to change

Getting to know our emotions as we grow

How to navigate growth and change with our friends

This is a collaboration between Alex Johnson, Sheffield-based HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist who has many years of experience working with children’s and families and Irise International a Sheffield-based charity and global leader in menstrual justice programming, campaigning and research.
