Children & Young People’s Mental Health Workshop (Manchester) – Register Your Interest 🌱

We’re getting ready to launch a new mental health workshop for young people aged 11 and over in Manchester. These workshops will provide a safe, relaxed and non-judgemental space where young people can talk, listen, connect with others and learn about mental health.
Young people will be supported by trained facilitators in a safe and supportive environment.
All facilitators working with young people will be appropriately trained and Enhanced DBS checked. To support safe and meaningful group discussion, we will maintain a maximum ratio of 1 facilitator to 4 young people.

What the workshops may cover

• Understanding emotions and mental health
• Managing stress, worry and difficult thoughts
• Building confidence and self-esteem
• Coping with loneliness and isolation
• Healthy relationships and communication
• Where to find support when things feel difficult

This form must be completed by a responsible adult on behalf of the young person.

Workshop Agreement & Safeguarding

I understand that these workshops are intended to provide a supportive space for young people aged 11 and over to talk, listen and learn about mental health. I understand that this is not therapy, counselling, medical treatment or a crisis service.

I understand that the information I provide will be used to contact me about the future workshops and to help with planning and safeguarding.

I understand that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed where there is a safeguarding concern, or where someone may be at immediate risk of harm. I understand that facilitators may need to share information with appropriate safeguarding professionals where necessary to keep a young person or another person safe.
