Promoting mental wellbeing in teenagers
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 teenagers and their families / carers facing SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) challenges.
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 TWO sessions: Parent Hub and Parent Hub Online, to help parents supporting a child with SEMH challenges.
- Our Teen Talks team deliver empowering talks to teens, helping them to develop the life skills to help them develop resilience and strategies to handles life’s challenges – public courses and in schools.
- Our FREE Life Skills for Teens programme is an 8-week online course to support teens with their mental wellbeing; launched in February 2024, it has already been followed by 100 local teens.
- We deliver valuable FREE resources and advice to parents and teens, via our website Online Help.
