SELF-EXPRESSION
Mic Champs empowers young people by encouraging self-expression through creative writing. It helps build confidence, enhance communication and foster creative thinking, offering a meaningful outlet to face life’s challenges with clarity and resilience.
IMPACT
Studies confirm that journaling and self-expression significantly improve young people’s mental health. The Cambridge Wellbeing Study (2021) showed that six weeks of expressive writing reduced anxiety by 28% and boosted emotional awareness by 74%. Likewise, the Mental Health Foundation (2020) found daily journaling led to a 12% increase in well-being and reduced depressive symptoms.

“The feedback from the year 9 students was overwhelmingly positive. They so enjoyed creating and performing within the morning. Just under half of the students were so engaged with journalling that they asked me for journals so they could continue documenting their thoughts and ideas to support with their emotional health and use them as a means of expression.”
