ABOUT THE POSITIVITY PROJECT

The Positivity Project provides trauma-informed, one-to-one mentoring for children and young people who may benefit from additional support. Sessions are shaped around each young person’s views, wishes and feelings, using a PACE approach to build a safe, trusting and consistent relationship.

We offer 4, 6 and 8-week programmes, as well as ongoing sessions where appropriate. Young people remain with the same mentor wherever possible, with sessions focused on confidence, emotional wellbeing, resilience, communication, independence, life skills and positive aspirations.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Getting to Know You

We spend time understanding the young person’s views, wishes, feelings, interests, strengths and aspirations.

02

Tailored Mentoring

Weekly two-hour one-to-one mentoring sessions are planned around the individual using meaningful conversations, activities and experiences.

03

Building Trust

Using PACE and trauma-informed practice we build a safe, consistent relationship where the young person feels listened to, valued and understood.

04

Positive Growth

Together we develop confidence, resilience, communication, emotional wellbeing and practical life skills through achievable goals.

05

Looking Ahead

We celebrate progress, however small, helping young people leave with greater confidence, positive memories and skills they can carry into everyday life.
