Emotional Wellbeing
We all know that the last couple of years have been difficult for young people, and with exams approaching it’s likely that stress and anxiety levels are increased for some young people. Our Emotional Wellbeing and Supporting You Projects offer a safe environment where young people can introduce new and positive routines into their weekly schedules and learn valuable techniques to reduce anxiety, developing confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
Details of this, and all of our other projects, can be found on the Youth projects in your area page on our website.
