5 Pillars of youth work
A unique approach
We offer a wide range of bespoke, person-centred services and projects, where young people up to the age of 25 can be referred to us for specialist support, this could be group work, or 1-1 support.
We aim to make other interventions more effective and responsive by creating a foundation of emotional strength upon which other services can be used to build a complete and robust package of support. Without tackling the underlying causes of WHY young people do the things they do in the first place it is very difficult to bring about lasting change and therefore it is necessary to alter the thinking patterns of young people before addressing the practical issues otherwise their underlying emotions will always cause conflict both in themselves and with others. CHANGE MUST START FROM WITHIN.
We apply various approaches, using personal lived experiences at the foundation of all projects. Our methods incorporate the 5 pillars of youth work (expressive, educative, participative, inclusive, and empowering) counselling concepts, the philosophy of coaching, principles of cognitive behaviour therapy and neuro linguistic programming.
By applying these approaches, we have created a strong evidence base making available a high standard of early interventions. Our work aligns with the Wellbeing of Future Generations, social services acts, and the curriculum for Wales.
