Promoting mental wellbeing in teens
Green Hub is a local community charity based in Milford & Godalming supporting teens in Surrey (aged 10-18) who are facing social, emotional & mental health challenges: We do this via our social therapeutic garden programme – Green Teens – which focuses on mental wellbeing, as well as supporting parents with our monthly Parent Hub and other activities.
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 SIX session options across our THREE 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.
Thank you
We are so grateful for all the amazing Volunteers that support Green Hub, and the fantastic work they are doing in the community. If you, or your teen, is struggling due to teen mental health, please do contact us as we will do all that we can to support you.
