Schools Work

“Pupils speak with pride about their involvement in ‘WAM Youth’, a local initiative that mentors young people, challenges discrimination and insists that, ‘We All Matter’.”

Ofsted Report, Winchcombe School – December 2018

Wellbeing Support

In our recent (June 2020) survey of over 160 local young people over 65% said they would like education and support with managing their wellbeing and 62% said they would like someone to talk to occasionally e.g.at a drop-in.

The benefit of WAM Youth providing a drop-in service alongside general RSE lessons and targeted group sessions is the consistency of the Youth Worker delivering these services, the quality of the relationships they build with students and therefore the impact the service has on students wellbeing.

Wellbeing Groups

We can provide two short courses each offering 1 hour sessions over 6 or 7 weeks:

  • Kintsugi Wellbeing Groups – Focusing on topics such as vulnerability, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, shame and anger the Kintsugi Wellbeing course helps young people to realise “it’s ok not to be ok” and gives them tools and strategies for recognising their emotions and managing their wellbeing
  • Roots – a series of 6 x 1 hour sessions exploring value, worth, relationships and communication helping young people to build their resilience
