Prevention & Rehabilitation programmes
Skills For Youth is a resource development company supporting the emotional and cognitive growth of children and young people with a principal aim of preventing and deterring anti-social behaviour and crime through the provision of social education and rehabilitation resources. We deliver our work through creating interactive and therapeutic ‘programmes’ covering a variety of social topics which can be facilitated to young people within schools, voluntary/public/ private sector youth settings and youth justice/ youth offending teams by professionals employed within these organisations following participation at our ‘train the facilitator’ events. Our programmes are licensed for use and supplied with facilitation guides, assessment templates & evaluation materials, to equip organisations in their PHSE, NEET, prevention or post conviction work with young people.
