We work in Primary, Secondary, Colleges and Youth groups delivering educational anti-stigma workshops such as: Mental Health awareness, Self-harm, Self-esteem & Body image, exam stress and screen time.
We can also deliver these to groups of young people in youth centres and at other groups. The timetable below shows what workshops we can offer, these can be combined to design specific sessions for your group e.g. a drama workshop around self-esteem.
Workshops include a range of interactive and reflective tasks to keep it interesting and fun.
For example our General Mental health workshop includes an exercise where students place themselves on the continuum of mental health, imagine and discuss different ideas in relation to mental health and identify stigma in the media.
For each workshop we also work with a volunteer who shares their own personal experience with mental health. The contribution of people who have direct experience of mental distress is an important part of our workshops; this involvement reduces some of the stigma and encourages positive dialogue.
We can also deliver courses in your school or with your group of young people (see below in orange). Call us for more information.
