They also have 1:1 support appointments outside of school and two support groups. One for ages 11-15s and one for ages 16-25s.

16 - 25s Support Groups
Do you feel pressure from your work, education or friends?
Do you feel like you don’t fit in?
Do you want to meet young people like yourself in a safe and supportive environment where you can talk about what’s bothering you?
It is a flexible group so there is no need to commit yourself to anything, if you need some help or just to chat come along! We will be running different activities each week.

“ Group is the highlight of my week ”

Why did I say yes?
What if they don’t like me?
Treat me like the people who bullied me.
My hands are shaking, knees quaking
Then the tears start.
A thousand worries at once
This is all too much.
Brainless, I press the zoom link
Numb in mind, body and soul.
Only to be greeted with smiles
Two ladies who look after me,
People who treat me normally
We talk about techniques
Play games,
Hangman, pub quizzes, debates
Learning positivity.
The more I go, more my smile grows
Every week I now see friends, for a day feel my age
No longer a tear to roll down my face.
