What I can offer?
I can offer a range of services and support, both in person and over video, to help young people's mental health.
I am a trained Youth Mental Health first aid instructor, in both 2 day training and half day 'aware' (available over video) courses.
Perfect for youth workers, teachers (primary & secondary), care workers, Youth offending teams, and even parents/guardians.
As an experienced mental health youth worker for over 20 years, i offer a bespoke insight into this work.
Providing professionals with further tools to their brilliance to support and help young people struggling with their mental health.
Bespoke consulting and training
I can offer bespoke consulting and training to schools, youth organisations, corporate companies and more.
This can be anything from creating psychologically informed environments, Human Rights Education, suicide conversation workshops, mental health campaigns and more.
This can be done in-person or online.
Youth Participation & Co-production
I am a firm believer that when you are creating something for someone, whether that be a mental health service for young people or a campaign to educate young people on self-care, that they should be the ones at the centre of the creation team.
This requires training, a strategy and more. I can help you create a strategy and process for ensuring young people are involved in services and support that helps them.
If you are looking to do some international work, then i recommend reaching out to my 'other hat' - Euro Youth Mental Health.
I have done many things in my life, but one of the things i am most proud of is being co-founder/director of Euro Youth Mental Health.
A youth NGO, that aims to bring together young people across Europe to promote mental health and prevent the impact of mental illness.
