Mentoring Programmes
We deliver 1-to-1 and group mentoring to support children and young people who may be struggling in life for a variety of reasons and from varied backgrounds. Our role is to increase self worth and resilience, improve thinking skills and to help create solution focused outcomes by using a blend of CBT and Protective Behaviours strategies in a safe, fun and interactive way. By working alongside individuals and helping them to understand why they might be feeling how they do, we can then seek to improve life at home, in school and in the wider community. Some young people within the mentoring programme have gone on to support their own community through Local Authority and Safe Journey Education projects with great success. Please ring us if you would like to discuss this in more detail, as this delivery will have a bespoke approach.
