Our Work with Young People and Adults in the Community

In 2023, approximately 1 in 5 children and young people aged 8 to 25 in England were identified as having a probable mental disorder. Specifically, 20.3% of 8 to 16-year-olds, 23.3% of 17 to 19-year-olds, and 21.7% of 20 to 25-year-olds fell into this category.Anxiety, a natural response to stress, becomes problematic when persistent and overwhelming. It can affect individuals of any age, background, or social group, with many anxiety disorders beginning in childhood and adolescence. Research indicates that as many as one in six young people will experience anxiety at some point, equating to up to five children in a typical school class.Our programs utilise coaching methods to support these young people, helping them build resilience, develop coping strategies, and set them up for success in their personal and academic lives.

The Wellbeing Generation’s Approach

Through our community programmes, The Wellbeing Generation facilitates workshops and events that encourage participants to share and listen to personal narratives. These sessions are designed to be inclusive and supportive, providing a space where individuals can connect, heal, and grow together. By centering storytelling, the organisation not only addresses individual wellbeing but also fosters a sense of community resilience and cohesion.

1. Empowering Personal Narratives

2. Building Empathy and Social Connection

3. Supporting Mental Health and Recovery

4. Creating Culturally Relevant Interventions

5. Catalyzing Social Change
