This week marked the final session of one of our young people's groups at a local school and we wanted to share a little of what made it special. 💛
Each week, the group used a "chuck it bucket" anything unhelpful, any unkind thought or worry, got screwed up on paper and thrown straight in. Simple, but powerful.
They made messages in a jar. They talked about what consent really means. They made friendship bracelets together. And every week, Denver and Obie, our weighted teddies, kindly donated by Project Peanut, sat with the group for comfort.
Here's some of what the girls told us when we asked for feedback:
"I can recognise red flags, but also green ones, which is important."
"I loved every week."
"I understand what consent really means now."
"My confidence has grown."
Every single one of them said they loved making new friends and meeting new people.
This group was run by our wonderful Donna (Young People's Violence Advisor) and Marie (Children & Young People's worker), thank you both for everything you bring to this work.
If you know a young person, or work with a school, who could benefit from a group like this, we'd love to hear from you.
