Overview
Our Skill-shops for Young Minds are suitable for any school, college, university, supported housing, doctor’s surgery or organisation that caters to young people aged 11+.
We help young people better understand how their brain can react differently to situations based on previous experience, knowledge, and memories.
Content is tailored and includes a mix of case studies, practical activities, group discussions and movement to empower young people to have skills and strategies to look after their own mental health.
What’s included?
- The teenage brain and mental health
- A toolkit of skills and techniques to support yourself and others
- Develop an understanding of emotional needs and resources, and how they relate to physical wellbeing
- Find out about how we feel stress in the body and what we can do about it
- Learn skills to cope in challenging situations such as feeling out of control, managing worry and anxiety, feeling concerned for others or recognising and dealing with feelings of stress
- Understand mental health and how to move towards, or stay in, wellbeing by meeting needs
- Understand the link between food and drink, movement and sleep to improve wellbeing
The trainer was brilliant – very child friendly and approachable. The information was presented in a way that children could engage with, without feeling it was ‘dumbed down’.
Parent
Very interesting, and no matter how young or old you are it was taught so that all ages could stay focused and learn beneficial things about mental health.
Teacher
The information was really easy to take in but it was very helpful and all the activities were really fun.
