Coalisland Arts Project is helping Young People Paint a Brighter Future

Once a week, a group of young people, aged 12-16 years old, come together at the Orgas Centre in Coalisland to socialise and meet friends. Just like any group of teenagers, they love to spend time together but what sets them apart is, that at each session they get to work with different artists, who will help them explore their emotions and promote positive mental health through a creative arts workshop.
