Some young people do not need to be pushed.
They need to feel safe enough to begin.
What may look like hesitation can sometimes be anxiety. What may look like silence can be a young person trying to work out whether the space is safe for them.
At RYTC Creatives CIC (The RYTC), creativity gives young people another way in.
Through theatre, film, music, storytelling and creative activities, young people can take small steps towards confidence without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Sometimes the most powerful support is not, “Go on, do it.”
It is, “I’ll do it with you.”
That is where confidence can begin.
