    Situation

    Workshops will run one day a week for 10 - 12 weeks. Topics covered will include self-esteem, confidence building, cooking & healthy eating, graphic design, sexual health, team building, communication, relationships and Basic First Aid. In order for users to express themselves in a practical way and also to implement learning from character building sessions they will be taken out on trips such as go-karting, bowling and outward bound. During these times issues such as health & safety, confidence, self-improvement etc are addressed. Referrals will be taken from Youth Offending, Transitional Leaving Care Team, Social Services and Jervis Court Supported Accommodation. The majority of users reside in the areas of Brownhills, Bentley, Walsall Town Centre and the Great Wyrley area (the latter due to a previous teacher at Brownhills Comp who relocated).
