SUMMARY:Connecting Through The Arts
DESCRIPTION:Connecting Through the Arts is a trauma-informed\, community-based programme designed to support families in Ealing. \n\n\n\n\nThis project will run weekly from early July to late August\, delivering structured\, therapeutic sessions that combine arts\, music\, mindfulness\, and yoga to improve wellbeing\, reduce isolation\, and strengthen community connection. \nDelivered within the Dickins Yard area\, the programme will create safe\, inclusive spaces where parents and children can engage in both parallel and shared activities. Each session is centred on the themes of safety\, belonging\, and resilience\, helping families feel more confident and connected in their local environment. The project specifically targets families affected by domestic abuse\, trauma\, and social disadvantage\, providing early intervention during the school holiday period\, a time when many families experience heightened vulnerability. \nThe project will be delivered in two-hour sessions every Wednesday. \nHour 1: Parallel Sessions \nParents will be based in ID Studios for wellness and yoga sessions with our Mind-Body Wellness Practitioner\, Rebecca Moore\, focusing on grounding\, emotional regulation\, and stress reduction. \nThe children and young people will be based at Christ the Saviour Church Hall\, where they will focus on Arts therapy with one of our resident artists and on Music therapy with our creative ambassadors\, Danny Rodeck and Vean Ima. Both of the therapy practices will aim to help them work on their emotional expression\, confidence\, and communication. \nHour 2: Integrated Family Engagement \nParticipants will have the flexibility to reconnect through shared activities. Children and young people can join parents at ID Studios for mindfulness and yoga\, or parents can join their children and young people at Christ the Saviour Church Hall for music therapy sessions. This flexible model encourages bonding\, trust\, and positive shared experiences\, while respecting individual comfort levels. \nWe are incredibly excited about Connecting Through The Arts\, as our previous work connecting families to wellness and creativity has shown that providing a healthy outlet significantly improves the lives of those who need it most. By creating safe\, creative\, and connected spaces during a high-risk period\, the project will strengthen families\, build community resilience\, and contribute to longer-term prevention outcomes.

SUMMARY:New Directions in Social Media Research Conference\, 07-08 December 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be supporting our colleague and social media safety expert\, Faysal Curry\, for his participation in the New Directions in Social Media Research conference held at St John’s College\, Cambridge\, on 7–8 December 2026. \nFor more information: \nThere is growing public concern\, and an urgent need for scientific evidence\, about the impact of social media on young people. As the social media research field gathers interest and technology progresses\, research methods are rapidly evolving. At this conference\, we invite social media researchers from across the world with a range of methodological backgrounds to exchange research and ideas\, and to network. We hope to create an opportunity for learning\, training and information exchange\, as well as to seed future international and interdisciplinary collaborations in this policy-relevant space. \nThe conference will take place at St John’s College\, University of Cambridge\, from 7th to 8th December 2026. The programme will include keynote speakers\, poster sessions\, symposia\, panel discussions\, and a workshop on science communication.
