My foster daughter attended a course designed to help young people explore and express their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. She found it very positive and came home after each session full of enthusiasm, clearly enjoying her time there. Over the weeks, we noticed a real boost in her confidence and mood.
She particularly loved the creative activities and was proud to share the things she had made. One book she read as part of the course reflected her own experiences, and it opened up conversations we hadn’t had before. After each session, she seemed more talkative, open, and noticeably happier.
This programme has been hugely beneficial and empowering for her. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend it to any young person who might struggle with expressing their emotions or simply needs a safe, non-judgemental space to be themselves.
