The course is given over 12 weeks with 2 hours of 'class work' with normally up to 8 participants per week with 1 hour of one to one mentoring and coaching every two weeks. It is this mentoring and coaching that makes the difference.
All participants are tracked using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Health Wellbeing Scale. We use a simple app on your smartphone, 9 questions, choose 1 of 4 answers in a dropdown box and press 'submit'. This on its own means very little but answered regularly at weekly intervals allows us to track your progress. Using this simple method we have already uncovered cases of grooming and self harm. But we were able to nip these problems in the bud before they got any worse.
Because everyone deserves an opportunity to shine
Everyone is different and there is no magic formula
Unfortunately careers advice can be hugely variable from excellent to non-existent. Often the people we cater for have not yet discovered who exactly they are or where they want to go and we help them with that self-development.
For some volunteering is the way forward. This has its own value and shows that you are a respected and valued member of a team so has countless benefits.
