1:1s with a Wellbeing Youth Worker require referrals made by school. 1:1s are useful for young people who might need a safe, non-judgemental space to talk, or learn new skills.

Wellbeing Youth Workers can work with school to run groups. These groups can be built around:

• A recognised wellbeing need, identified by staff, youth worker, or students themselves.
• A collective interest (such as gardening or reading).
• Support or advocacy groups, such as LGBTQ+.
• General groups for connection and/or advice.

Lunchtime drop-ins are a chance for young people to spend time with a Wellbeing Youth Worker and their peers. A chance to gain valuable wellbeing advice and build connections.

Wellbeing Youth Work is flexible. So, if you can think of any other ideas that can help promote wellbeing in your school, speak to your school's designated Wellbeing Youth Worker to see how they can help!
