We can help with challenging behaviour, conflict, mental ill-health, anxiety and/or social, emotional or behavioural difficulties.
We have programmes specifically for young people, programmes for parents/carers and some which run in parallel where parents/carers and young people take part in separate programmes which run at the same time. Each programme has a different focus.

GroundedThe Grounded groups are for young people, aged 11-16, who are experiencing difficulties when coping with situations of conflict or confrontation with adults. They may find themselves in trouble at school, home or in their local community.
If you are a young person who sometimes finds yourself in trouble with adults, can lose your temper easily and wants to learn how to stay calm in difficult situations, then come and join our group. These sessions include a mix of activities to encourage participation and teamwork, whilst engaging young people. Groups run for 2 hours per week for 7 weeks. |

The core of the programme is based on our established Living with Teenagers group work programme but group members will also have the opportunity to explore the effects of poor mental health on the parenting task and the strategies and ideas that potentially diminish negative influences.
Running a specialist group means there is more likely to be a common or shared experience among the members that allows for a more open discussion on mental health (and related matters) as well as a better understanding of the impact of the symptoms on the family and parenting approach in the home. The programme runs for 2 hours per week, for 8 weeks. |
