Parents / Carers

PROJECT:ME enables young people to fulfil their potential by offering proactive mind and body programmes. We bring an awareness at the earliest stage and develop a positive mindset in young people.

Using physical activity, as well as mindfulness and one-to-one life coaching, we empower young people to gain the confidence and resilience to make good choices and learn how to live an active and fulfilling life.

Your Questions Answered

My child may feel uncomfortable sharing some of their current mental health experiences. How will you be able to ensure they're in a safe environment to express their feelings? PROJECT:ME ensures that at the beginning of every programme, the Young People are all on the same page about sharing / expressing themselves in the group. We always make sure the Parent / Guardian / Carer has received our Young Person's Agreement before the programme begins and agrees to the statements before signing up (we always encourage the Parent / Guardian / Carer to read together with their Child). We then reiterate these words together on day 1 of the programme. Please feel free to request our Safeguarding Policy or contact us to talk through any concerns.

My child is shy and isn't keen on partaking much in physical activity, how will they cope in a group situation? The purpose of the physical activity aspect of PROJECT:ME is to relay the importance of the positive impact to our mental wellbeing. We encourage the Young People to do it at their own pace with no expectation to begin with. As the weeks grow the Young People will naturally start to engage & feel more comfortable with one another (as well as their bodies) and notice how much better they will feel doing the recommended daily amount of movement required to ignite those happy hormones.

Will there be any support afterwards? Absolutely. Wherever PROJECT:ME deliver, there will always be an allocated leader that the Young Person will be able to access during & even after the programme. Our Directors Kate & Vicki are also contactable at whatever stage should the Young Person want to pursue the positive growth of their mental & physical wellbeing. From 1:1 Coaching to being signposted to other physical clubs / groups & careers guidance, PROJECT:ME will help as much as possible.

What do they need to wear / bring? We ask all the participants to wear comfortable workout / gym / PE clothes with suitable footwear (depending on whatever activity they'll be partaking in). This will be communicated to you prior to the programme starting. A water bottle is also recommended, and a notepad & pen so that they can make notes.

What is Life Coaching? As part of many of our programmes each young person will be offered 1 to 1 Life Coaching so that they have the opportunity to work through issues or worries that they may have away from the group. Coaching is not therapy, a way to fix a young person or tell them what to do. Life Coaching allows space to think, express and discover how to get the very best from our lives.
