Your Resilience Impact

Since September 2022, Your Resilience has been delivered across the UK to:

By training professionals, we incubate a culture of open conversations about mental health which leads to a more supportive environment.

Our focus is now on supporting young people from diverse and underserved communities who are at higher risk of experiencing poor mental health due to a range of social determinants.

Community-based Programme, Scotland

“I liked having the opportunity to talk openly about the pressures we feel, particularly now with everything going on, and express our thoughts and feelings with the group. This would be good to do again.”

“We wanted to ensure that the programme addressed the unique needs of our neurodiverse individuals. We really appreciated the inclusive and diverse delivery by our trainer.”

Youth Work Apprentice
North Ayrshire Council

“This was a great opportunity to talk openly amongst a group, as it provided a safe space for us all to share our thoughts and personal experiences. We learned a lot of great strategies; these have all been put to great use amongst our team."

Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services

“I have been diagnosed with anxiety and OCD. I have intrusive thoughts about death. When discharged [from CAMHS] I become increasingly worse and was referred to these sessions which I have enjoyed. I take notes throughout each one and remember what has been taught. I am currently attempting to journal and write down thoughts as they happen.”
