My Life is an early help health and wellbeing programme which aims to build young people’s motivation, knowledge and skill to effectively manage and improve their sexual health and wellbeing.
My Life is an educational programme based on a supported self-help approach. As a flexible early help intervention, its sole purpose is to empower and support young people to improve their own health and wellbeing.
During the programme, the young person meets with a Brook Education and Wellbeing Specialist for up to six 50-minute sessions. Using a toolkit approach, the programme creates individually tailored sessions by combining bespoke educational content on relevant sexual health, relationships and wellbeing topics underpinned by a robust, evidence-based structure that is grounded in both theory and practice.
Person-centred
Sessions are designed around the individual and what would help them improve their own lives.
Non-judgemental
Safe, supportive space to talk about topics that are important to the young person.
Voluntary
The young person has to want to engage with the sessions for it to work.
Here are some examples of what this programme can support with:
Please note: My Life is an education programme not a counselling service. This means we cannot help if there are unassessed/unaddressed multiple and complex needs or if there are mental health concerns that require assessment.

No –one has ever asked us about this – what we want to do with our lives
The first thing you do is think about what it would feel like to succeed – I’ve never thought like that before – we got asked how it would feel and it felt great and I could see that it could happen that I could do things differently.
I had never thought about me being committed to doing something – I kind of thought things just happened – it made me think that I can do things differently.
She [Brook Specialist] made me feel really comfortable, that I could talk about anything to her, she made me feel safe and she really cared about my feelings.
