St Albans Empower Programme
Thursday 28th April 2022 – 5pm – 6.30pm (24 weeks)
Please find attached some information about ‘Empower’ a 3-year project that is funded by Comic Relief, meaning that every session is absolutely free!
Empower is a project (24 weekly sessions) that aims to improve young people’s mental health through the use of physical activity. Each session is 90 minutes in length and consists
of 60 minutes of physical activity, typically in the form of a sport session such as dodgeball, football, basketball, badminton or dance. Following the physical activity,
we complete a 30-minute wellbeing workshop, which is a facilitated conversation between participants, Watford FC Community Sports, and Education Trust Coaches and
a NESSie psychotherapist. The aim of Empower is to improve young people’s wellbeing by helping our participants to manage their emotions and understand their triggers,
increasing participant’s resilience and protective factors and offering a further support network for these young people. Each session is mixed gender and will have 16 young
people aged between 9 and 12.
