Using our expertise, we want to nurture the mental health of local young people by offering a series of services that enable them to build confidence in expressing their feelings
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
‘Aliza - A place to be me’ offers counselling by qualified professionals. It was created with the aspiration to help children and adolescence on a difficult journey – but we’re in need of economic support to ensure that we can continue our invaluable work.
From counselling, to group therapeutic sessions, play therapy, and life skills mentoring workshops, our guidance allows individuals to express themselves in a non-judgmental environment. We will set up one-to-one counselling sessions, play therapy (where children feel most relaxed to let their worries be played out), youth mentoring workshops, academic support by trained professionals and as well as music production, sports, and Zumba groups, developing self-awareness and simply building on relationships for young people and their families, living in the borough of Lewisham.
We believe this is an area of young peoples’ development that is often overlooked, which can threaten the rest of their healthy development.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
It is a great idea because emotional and physical well-being is a valuable part of our lives and we should aim to recognise the importance and nurture it.
This project will give the youth something positive to engage in as well as build on life skills.
The youth will have the opportunity to talk too counsellors and mentors about difficulties they are facing and tutors will also be available to those who are finding school academically challenging and need additional support.
This project will encourage the youth to become more involved in their local community and the mentoring projects that we will deliver will cover social issues such as racism, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, family issues etc.
It will benefit the residents and encourage them to have an interest with the youth within their community as we aim to build better relationships between youths within their community.
Steps to get it done:
We want to provide a family friendly environment for youth as well as their care givers.
Offering a fully supported structured six week programme to encourage health and well-being. Providing a meeting place for youth and enable the young people and families to come together to receive additional support.
