What does the programme offer? The Well-Edu Peer Mentorship Programme is designed to provide young people with the skills to reach their full potential in their Our offer is unique as it provides students with key strategies to promote their achievement as well as their well-being. The programme not only gives participants practical knowledge on how to complete a CV and tips for interviews, but also empowers them with proven therapeutic techniques to promote their communication skills, confidence, resilience and calm. This, in turn, enables them to achieve in academic tests, be better placed to gain employment and, importantly, increase their chances of maintaining employment in the future. A vital element of this course is the opportunity that the young people -the mentors - are then given to share their new skills with their younger peers - the mentees - to create a ripple of improved mental health and a sense of belonging across the whole-school community. This innovative approach is led by our expert team of qualified and experienced, teachers and therapeutic consultants. |

An example programme Feedback on our programme Mrs P Young, Mental Health and Wellbeing Support Officer, John Wallis Academy "I have loved getting involved with Paula to run this project. I myself ran a program for the students struggling to settle in year 7. It has been perfectly timed to further help them settle into secondary while freeing up my time and also creating some independence for the young person. It's been wonderful seeing them form these relationships and growing in confidence around the school. I can see some of the 6th form really embracing their role - having learned skills that they will hold onto for life. It's been a win win situation for all parties involved! If any other school is thinking about this project my advice would be to say YES!" Student mentees from years 7 and 8 "I like having an older person at school to talk to. I wouldn't have that if I hadn't been on this project." "I feel better around school now." "My 6th former really understand me, and I like waving hi when we pass in the corridors." "The lady that runs it is really nice and made me feel welcome."
