Situation
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year (Minds Matters) and we are conscious that after the pandemic, people may be needing extra support and intervention. Young Minds carried out a survey on young people aged 13-25 and found 67% believed that the pandemic will have a long-term negative effect on their mental health. We want to support individuals with their mental health and wellbeing through training, craft activities and mentoring.
Solution
As a training provider, we will offer flexible and energizing construction and creative craft sessions, along with mentoring which will involve an individual participant journey to monitor mental health, set targets, build confidence, develop skills and focus on future goals/aspirations. Additionally, we will provide employability support e.g. CV writing/ interview techniques/job searching. We aim to tackle social isolation and wellbeing by opening up our inclusive Centre during school holidays.
