I MATTER YOUNG PERSON AWARDS: DETAILS

YOUNG PERSON AWARDS

The I Matter Young Person Awards can be for:
+ Young People in relationship to their own issues with anxiety or behaviour that others find challenging
+ Siblings of young people who are struggling
+ Young people in families where adults have mental health difficulties or other challenges

Whilst we can offer Young Person programmes for the younger child, the I Matter Young Person Awards are intended for young people from aged 10yrs and above.

The Awards are supported through 1:1 or small group or family learning. Wherever possible, adults are involved in the Awards themselves before young people are invited to take part
