Wellbeing Wednesdays

Weekly informal support sessions for children and young people, delivered by our Youth Work team.

Our sessions include low level support around mental health and wellbeing, relationships and friendships, worries about the environment/the world and futures, body image, self-confidence, anxiety, home life, school life, education, training, jobs and futures, and bereavement and grief.

Some of our sessions require children/young people to be referred so we can ensure we are able to meet need - please see below for more information and the link to our referral form.

These sessions are based on trust and confidentiality. The conversations within these sessions will remain confidential, unless our Youth Work team deem there to be a risk of harm to any participant, or other individual. Disclosures of this nature will be managed in line with PYCC's Safeguarding Policy, which can be viewed here: Portishead Youth & Community Centre
