Supporting Young People Impacted by Trauma
At FYP Interventions, we understand that some young people may have experienced trauma (ACE's) in their lives. These experiences can have a lasting impact on the well-being of young people. Our staff includes trauma-informed practitioners who are equipped to:
- Recognise the effects of trauma: We are aware of the signs and symptoms of trauma and how it can manifest in different ways.
- Therapeutic approach: We use a strength based approach which seeks to understand and respond to the impact on young people's lives. Our approach emphasises physical, psychological and emotional safety.
- Create a safe space: We provide a supportive and confidential environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their experiences.
- Build resilience: Our trauma-informed practitioners focus on building an individual's strengths and coping mechanisms to help them overcome challenges.
- Collaborate for success: We work collaboratively with other professionals and support systems to ensure a holistic approach to healing and growth.
FYP also offers a Post 16 Programme for young people navigating the path beyond school. This program helps them explore their potential and prepare for their next steps through personalised guidance, real-world experiences, and building confidence through vocational courses.
