Children And Young People

Group work programmes are offered, which are needs-led and are centrally focused on supporting children and young people.

Our programmes aim to build children and young people’s self esteem and confidence, and enable them to participate in a group.

Programmes also help children and young people to identify their own personal support network. The emphasis is on learning through fun activities and group discussion.

Available programmes include:
