Empower course

An 8 week course for teens to explore, explain and improve self-esteem.

This course runs 3 times per year, targeting specific age groups between 11-16 years. Our next course starts on Thursday 17 October 2024 for young people aged 15–17.

Our aim is to create a safe and confidential space so young people can talk about real stuff and experience the positive POWER of group work.

The course is aimed at teens who:

• struggle to believe in themselves
• want to learn strategies to improve their confidence and emotional resilience
• want to understand how to self calm and cope better with stress
• want to improve with relationships with others
• want to have fun and enjoy good company

What format does the group take?

• 8 sessions on THURSDAY evenings 6.30-8pm at The Welcome Centre, St Andrew's Church in Starbeck. The next course will launches on 17 October and will be aimed specifically at young people aged 15–17.
  
• The group will consist of up to 12 young people ready to talk and listen to each other.
• Facilitated by 2 qualified counsellors from Wellspring Youth Service.
• Each session has a theme to guide discussion and exploration in a fun and dynamic way.
• The sessions will help participants become aware of patterns of thoughts and behaviours that have caused them to get stuck in the past.
• With the help of the group, we will develop a tool kit of strategies to break these patterns. This will open the door for better relationships, increased confidence and hope for the future.
• FREE – Funded by National Lottery Community Fund
