Platfform – Power Up Project

Create and implement a vision for a more resilient and mentally healthy future for young people in their community
Design and develop new solution-focussed approaches to young people’s mental health and resilience, with a focus on:

• Addressing mental health inequalities that were highlighted and made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic
• Designing new ways to prevent mental health problems from developing or getting worse, and ensure young people get the right
• support at the right time, wherever they turn for help
• Strengthening young people’s long-term access to resilience assets in their lives and communities
• Bringing lasting changes that increase the ability of systems and/or communities to build young people’s resilience and tackle the root causes of mental health problems and adversity.

In our development year:

• Creation of a Young People’s Advisory Board to receive governance advice and guidance about project services.
• School engagement workshops
• One-to-one engagement sessions with young people identified by partners and external organisations
• Pop-up events and a residential stay for young people

Young people can access the service by registering interest through their school, or youth service, or through a self referral. Any referrals need to be made to the Service Manager (contact below).
