Are you 15 – 19 and living within the Greater Manchester area?
Are you interested in dance, music, spoken word and film making?
Do you have some time over August to commit to a brand-new project that focusses on you?
Do you have something to say about young people’s mental health?
Just one thing….
Simone Spray, CEO, 42nd Street
I think the most critical thing for impactful mental health and wellbeing support for young people (and by that I mean 11-25 year olds) is choice. A lot of services for young people are still very clinical and are threshold and diagnosis driven, particularly as young people transition into adulthood. Also, and understandably with the limitations on resources and continued uncertainty, many are still dictated by efficiency rather than preparedness and resilience. All of which limits choice.
ALL FM Community Radio are again working with young people 13-17 over the summer to produce radio broadcasts and/or podcasts. ALL FM can bring their kit and work with groups at your place or invite you to their accessible studios in Levenshulme.
Youth Elements are running two resilience workshops over the August holidays. Youth Elements are looking to partner with organisations across Greater Manchester, to deliver these workshop. The Youth Elements Team will come to the young people and visit a space of comfort, safety, and ownership. The sessions are provided free to young people. Young people will be awarded certificates for taking part in the session.
