We offer two 1:1 programmes for young people where the young person meets with a Brook Specialist.
These are only available to the schools that have been selected. If you work at one of these schools and would like to refer a young person, please follow our referral pathway. We will then meet to discuss the programmes with you and the young person to work out what would be best for the young person.
Support schools to develop their own peer-led wellbeing support programme that is meaningful, sustainable, and underpinned by the quality framework. The programme may include young people becoming young health champions.
Facilitate networking opportunities between schools to share good practice and offer advice and guidance.
