Arts, Crafts and Baking

Art is important for the development of all children and young people, but it is particularly valuable to children and young people with physical and learning disabilities.  The same benefits can be found through 1:1 group cooking experiences, enabling the learner to work in a group in a variety of roles, including leader and team member to create a finished product.

Mindfulness

Raise works with all its children and young people to promote an understanding of Mindfulness by delivering direct learning opportunities and through the embedding of a whole school approach to mindful and meditative techniques.

Wilderness Therapy

Raise works with eQe Outdoors programmes and interventions that are designed and developed by professional and accredited therapists and outdoor learning specialists, developing participants both internally and externally.  This can be defined as having two elements: 1 – actively and expertly applying professional therapeutic approaches and techniques in the wilderness and woodland environments; 2 – passively facilitating and allowing the wilderness to be the therapist.

 

Expressive Arts Therapy

Equine Assisted Development

Raise works with Eqwise, a working stable based in lovely countryside where young people are able to work with horses to help them with their own personal development and to identify and solve problems.

Using ‘Natural Horsemanship’ skills and often no verbal or physical communication to complete given tasks helps children and young people to discover their own strengths and weaknesses.

Horses can help us live in the moment, they teach us how to slow down and most importantly….how to listen! Our children and young people can learn to ride or simply build trusting relationships with the horses.

Music Therapy

Raise works with Nordoff Robbins Music Therapists. Their therapists are skilled musicians who have a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by the young people they work with and work hard to make music’s opportunities available in ways which are accessible but also impact on their lives more generally. This happens via engagement in shared music making, whether this is done improvisationally, making use of music people already know, creating new music together, or working towards some kind of performance.
