Changes YP can help with any type of MENTAL DISTRESS, and any issues that impact upon your mental well-being, whether it be exam stress, bullying, family issues, drug use etc., Our meetings although structured are relaxed and supportive, we understand that life isn't black and white. Whatever your problem/issue our unique 12 STEP PROGRAMME can help YOU to move forward, resolve issues and 'get on with your life' (step 10) Changes YP was created to provide young people with the same fantastic service provided by our adult service Changes. At the moment we have five open MEETINGS within the Stoke-on-Trent area and are looking to expand throughout North Staffordshire. Can you think of any ideas for venues? Any promotional or advertising opportunities? Any fantastic ideas for new social events? As a user led organisation we want to provide you with the service that you want! Email Jackie & Julie with any suggestions to changesyp@yahoo.co.uk We canít do it without your support! Changes YP also offers SOCIAL EVENTS where you can make new friends in relaxed and supported environment. There are VOLUNTEERING opportunities that can provide you with invaluable experience, confidence and raise self-esteem. Not forgetting a great qualification for your CV. Changes YP can also provide you with information about other YOUNG PERSONS SERVICES within the area. (Young Minds, Young CAB, The Loch, NS Young Carers, Connexions, Early Intervention, Adisis, Assist.)
Changes works to a 12 step programme, based on traditional 12 step philosophy, encompassing up-to-date self-help techniques and members own knowledge and experience.
Changes can help with any type of mental health problem provided you attend, share in our goal of mental health, and get involved, you'll make progress.
Changes groups are run by 2 specially trained Coordinators, (often people who have been 'in the programme' themselves, and have first hand experience in mental distress), who are there simply to ensure the meeting stays on track.
Changes meetings are informal and follow a set agenda which ensures structure, a positive approach, and individual progress. |
