Step Up: Schools & Colleges
Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, Step Up: Schools & Colleges is a co-production project which aims to build on young people’s strengths and abilities to deal with issues that could cause a mental health crisis.
Created and delivered with young people, our FREE workshops and resources for those living in London help 15 to 19s avoid being affected by mental illness, and provide a form of support for those who are experiencing mental illness and need to explore ways of managing symptoms.
We are also able to offer training to professionals working with young people, to equip them with the skills, knowledge and activities to facilitate their own workshops.
