Night of drama for young people

05 November 2009

Peabody is celebrating National Youth Work Week (1–7 November) by inviting young people to a special interactive performance that tackles the drama faced by young people in real life.

Get Your Head Around This, performed by the Olive Branch Theatre Company, will help young people to explore issues around mental health in a positive and constructive way.

The evening will also include a free buffet, advice and information on how to cope with problems, and a prize-giving ceremony to celebrate the achievements of young people across London. 

Head of Peabody Youth Services Simon Claridge said:

'Get Your Head Around This will explode some of the myths around mental health and emotional well-being. We hope participants will leave with an improved knowledge of where to go for help if things in their lives get difficult.

'We recognise that as the recession continues young people in particular will struggle to find work and pursue their careers. Get Your Head Around This is part of a wide range of programmes and activities that we offer to young people to help build resilience, foster creativity and encourage entrepreneurship.'
