New Mental Health Support Programme Challenges Social Isolation
Epic CIC has introduced Strong Young Minds; a programme which provides a one to one outreach service that is led by the child or young person to help access the support they want.
The service aims to help children and young people increase their resilience, reduce social isolation and build on their coping skills to develop strong young minds. By giving young people a sense of control over their use of the service, they are shown that even in difficult times they can find their own strengths to get through tough times in life.
This service offers:
- Emotional support and advocacy
- Helps to learn about ways to build mental strength and coping techniques
- Brings children and young people into social groups helping them feel less isolated
- Aims to increase awareness and reduce stigma.
To sign up to the course, please contact one of Epic’s Specialist Social Workers for Mental Health; Imogen Keay 07714 563 253 or Renae Boswell 07739 314 573, or via email.
