Outcome 3
Increases in wellbeing SHANARRI
100 %
Young people rated how safe they felt at the beginning of the project at 7.8 out of 10 . This rose slightly to an average of 8 after completing a term of activity . A young male in Polmont HMYOI observed how talking about mental wellbeing has improved his own happiness :
“ I talk about mental health as part of the Juke Box . This has made me feel happy .”
When asked which of the SHANARRI indicators they have improved since taking part , the majority ( 80 %) say they have improved in ‘ Achieving ’ and ‘ Included ’ indicators . This is followed by ‘ Active ’, ‘ Nurtured ’ and ‘ Respected ’ which were cited as factors which have improved by almost three quarters ( 73 %) of respondents .
Touching on several indicators , one dance respondent declared the following improvements :
I have become more active from this dance class . I am achieving more for doing my best in class . I feel included when we get put in break out rooms and when we do warm-ups , and you get to take charge .
One Juke Box participant summed how their experience helped get them through the pandemic , when they wrote :
It has been brilliant to work with you and to create the segments and listen to the songs I have chosen . It has been one of the toughest years to get through but doing the JukeBox has been one of the best experiences to do . I would love to do more
