STANLEY AREA YOUTH CONSORTIUM 2023
As we move away from COVID 19, the youth consortium continue to support young people in the aftermath of the lockdown. A return to face-to-face session was very welcome and youth club numbers were significantly higher with many young people craving being around other humans. The young people were so happy to get involved with sports and team games.
A significant number of young people still felt withdrawn and we found out that coming back to normality while welcome, was quite difficult and the clubs worked to support and encourage these young people too. One to one support and the mental health journals and pack were among the tools used with support of the active peer mentors group.
A second mental health survey confirmed these findings and led the work for the consortium and the clubs. In this period 37 young people had extra support for mental health and reported that the support had been essential in making them feel better.
The youth consortium peer mentors group have gone from strength to strength mentoring younger club members to train up and become the volunteers and peer mentors of the future. A weekly training programme has been put in place every week to teach our new volunteers to be the youth workers of the future.
