We offer holistic support including counselling, advocacy, groups, art therapy, play therapy, EMDR, befriending and informal support. Our objectives are: openness and transparency in our process of working being a learning and developing organisation a community based approach monitoring and evaluation to ensure effective and responsive services partnership working with other agencies adverse life experiences can be spoken about, understood and eradicated.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Many young people who have experienced bullying don't attend school and they lose hope in achievement often leading to them becoming involved in substance misuse and anti social behaviour as could those involved in bullying others. This project will give out positive messages and create hope leading to improved prospects for young people benefiting their families and the whole community
