Kids in Museums

How Museums can support young peoples mental health and wellbeing

Introduction

Museums can support young people to maintain good mental health and a positive sense of wellbeing, providing protection from factors such as stress. They also have something to offer to people who are experiencing a range of mental health problems, from short-term museum-based projects to programmes in hospital settings. All of this work is equally valuable to young people.

Thank you to Victoria Hume, Executive Director, Culture Health and Wellbeing Alliance (CHWA) and Dr Nuala Morse, Associate Professor in Museum Studies at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester for their support in creating this resource.
