Wellbeing
Teenagers have a lot to deal with nowadays, so well-being is at the core of our delivery. We offer weekly workshops tailored to the needs of young people, a lot of these issues coming out of informal discussions. Sessions can be around drug misuse, eating well, positive thinking, healthy relationships and maximising wellbeing. We work in partnership with a number of agencies to support the delivery of these sessions, such as Safer Merthyr Tydfil, Rockets and Comets, Barod, and Fearless and have frequent visits from the local PCSOs, who give informative talks on topics such as knife crime, ASB and stop and search.
‘It was a good workshop. It is good to know that if you were stopped by police for stop and search you have the right to ask for a woman officer to be present.’
‘I enjoyed the workshop and I learnt that hate crime is very serious and doesn’t just have to be hitting or beating someone up, it can be calling people names because of their gender or skin colour.’
