"Brave isn't how you feel, it's what you do"
MELVA centres around the story of a nearly-11-year-old girl, Melva Mapletree, whose struggles with anxiety, trauma and bereavement (or ‘worrits’ as she calls them), keep her from doing all exciting new things, and sometimes mean she can't even leave her house.
MELVA is a creative intervention programme for key stage two children, their teachers and families. It was designed in response to the 2017 green paper Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision.

Filmed at Northern Stage, stage 2, for school viewing.
