EMPOWERING Minds – FUELLING Resilience (360G-OCF-A634778)

(EMPOWERING Minds - FUELING Resilience) will be an exciting brand-new initiative that aims to Support the young people of Didcot with Preventative wellbeing and mental health initiatives. Through our partnership and consultation with local young people we know there is a huge need for this project and that will enhance the local wellbeing offer rather than duplicate anything already existing. To many young people are sat on waiting lists waiting for help. We feel there is so much they can be doing to help themselves. Our professional counselling team will deliver the following: • 10 psychoeducational workshops (to identified Didcot young people through community partners and schools) • 200 x 1-1 preventive counselling sessions (supporting 33 different young people) • Train five young people to facilitate peer support groups that will give young people the tools needed to adapt to change and manage their emotions in a healthy way. • Develop 100 wellbeing packs that can be distributed to those young people currently sat on waiting lists. • Provide a weekly drop in for young people to talk to a professional and get some tips on how to make sense of how they feel and participate less in risky behaviours.
