After two tough years for families and young people, Stanley Area Youth Consortium and our partners were still dealing with the aftermath of COVID 19 with meetings and work being conducted online rather than face to face. 

Our mental health survey highlighted how hard many young people had found the pandemic. Some had lost family or friends and many were left scared and isolated by the lockdown and the media representation. Many were worried how it would affect their learning and hated doing lessons online. 

The youth consortium took young people’s mental health very seriously, allocating a lot more worker time to supporting mental health within our clubs. The workers and peer mentors had worked throughout the lockdown supporting people with online chats and activities to try and ease the worry. 

They decided to produce a mental health pack which could help young people with coping strategies and to recognise when things weren’t right. They highlighted worries and concerns with young people they were working with and helped support them to use the pack. The feedback for the pack was good, with 23 young people using it and all of them said it helped them to manage their mental health.
