Mental Health and Wellbeing
Managing Anxiety &
Emotional Intelligence
programme.
A Group Coaching workshop for young people to develop skills and techniques to manage and reduce anxiety, and understand the power of their emotional intelligence.
We are passionate about ENABLING young people by creating a safe space for them to understand, challenge, be challenged, learn and think intentionally.
At Time-2 we utilise coaching tools and techniques to encourage thinking and decision making that develops emotional resilience and agility. This is done in a group environment where peer support, empathy and a commitment to a mutually safe space is engendered.
We work with young people to develop their ability to manage anxiety and to consider how best to go forward.
We help them to understand and acknowledge their anxiety responses, work with strategies that aim to consistently reduce this response and consider how to decrease their dependence on safety behaviours. Young people see how they can form sustainable new patterns and habits of behaviour.
It's our belief that everyone should be able to fulfill their potential and be the best they can be; to experience confidence, self-belief and happiness in life and at school.
What is the Programme?
​
A Group Coaching workshop for young people to develop skills and techniques to
manage and reduce anxiety, and understand the power of their emotional intelligence.
​
GROWING CONFIDENCE
It's a fun and experiential programme designed to create a safe and supportive space where confidence, knowledge and experience can build.
There are activities, games and challenges. We learn by doing and experiencing, not by being told and listening, so our workshop is creative and thought-provoking.
​
MIND THE GAP
Mental Health awareness and support is improving thankfully. This programme builds on the understanding young people have of anxiety and takes the next step of considering emotional intelligence. We use our Mind the Gap model to consider what to do between a stimulus that triggers anxiety and our response.
​
TAKEAWAY
Change and growth only come with practice, perseverance and support.
At the end of the day young people leave with a takeaway box of tips, tools and techniques to use going forward.
To support them further we also provide parents and guardians with a summary of the day's learning and some tips and tools of their own!
​
Purpose of the programme
​
​The aim is to enable young people to think, feel and act in an emotionally intelligent, agile and resilient way. This skill set helps to build confidence and self-belief, providing a platform for better educational outcomes and reduced pastoral care interventions.
Incorporating Coaching Tools with Cognitive and Behavioural techniques we make it possible for children to experience how they can ‘retrain their brain’ (neuroplasticity) and use techniques to help them manage and succeed at school.
