The Manchester Art Gallery and the Manchester
Population Health team have worked collaboratively to co-create and
test a wellbeing project - the Art of Resilience - piloted with
Manchester primary school children in 2021/22. The project, focused
on trauma informed practice is part of Manchester's ambition to be
an ACE aware and trauma informed City.
Following a successful implementation year with several primary
schools the objective is to extend the offer to other primary
schools in Manchester schools and the partners have approached the
VRU to support the extension both financially and in the allocation
of the project resources based on VRU dashboard data and GM contact
network
The learning and good practice has been shared with the GM ACEs and
trauma group by means of evaluation and feedback from participating
schools.The consensus is the project is valued and delivers against
the VRU and Trauma group objectives.
