BENS Youth and Community Groups
Due to COVID 19, we had an influx of young people who were not coping well in lockdown. Our service was used by agencies such as Wellbeing partnership, Family support workers, CAMHS, Social Care, and schools around our community.
Through BENS CIC we have managed to support young people with anxiety, anger, and low confidence and self-esteem starting with 121 appointments and into our ‘Back to School Transition’ sessions at a pace that was comfortable to the individual.
We have liaised with the referring services, parents, and close family members and have built up a good connection with all involved.
We have also been able to increase staffing hours and training for staff.
