Promoting mental wellbeing in teens
The Green Hub Project for Teens is a local community charity serving residents of Godalming, Milford and Witley, along with the broader Waverley and Surrey areas. We support teens (10-18) and their families / carers facing SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) challenges.
Our aim is to achieve positive, measurable outcomes for teen mental wellbeing: developing confidence & resilience through social interaction and inclusion, access to nature, active lifestyles and the 5 ways to wellbeing.
We started the project in July 2021, and have already made a significant impact in the work that we do.
Our weekly Green Teens programme offers social and therapeutic gardening to stressed, anxious and neuro-diverse teens, giving them the chance to experience the calming effect of nature, benefiting their mental wellbeing. The programme runs FOUR FREE session options across our TWO locations,- Each month we run Parent Hub: a session to help parents supporting a child with SEMH challenges.
- Our FREE Life Skills for Teens programme is an 8-week online course to support teens with their mental wellbeing.
- We deliver valuable FREE resources and advice to parents and teens, via our website Online Help.
