The funding will enable us to progress our project idea further by piloting a 12 month “5 ways to wellbeing project” which can be rolled out to our other settings. It will fund the youth work delivery, supervision, marketing/promotion and monitoring/evaluation.
It will enable us to deliver and embed art therapy as a tool to support young people to express their emotions. It will provide online safeguarding support so young people can immediately access online support for issues such as racism and bullying. It will equip our training coordinator with train the trainer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). It will deliver MHFA and other training to the voluntary sector to provide sustainable capacity to respond to symptoms, and be confident having conversations regarding mental health. It will support young people to identify their needs and become empowered to positively change their behaviour.
