Reconnect, get connected and stay on track
As youth workers we all know that our mental health and well-being can be improved by taking five simple evidence-based steps:
- Connect.
- Be active.
- Take notice.
- Keep learning.
- Give.
I am sure you would agree that Youth Work provides the spaces needed to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing and it is a highly rewarding profession. Youth workers can make a positive difference to the lives of the young people they engage with. However, the work takes place in a variety of places and settings which means it can be a busy and often stressful environment to work in. It’s imperative for youth workers to connect with one another, take notice of trends happening on the ground and keep learning from each other. That’s why we hold our regular Tea breaks and Supper clubs. They are dedicated spaces to explore complex themes in more context.
