Promoting mental wellbeing in teenagers

The Green Hub Project for Teens is a local community project serving Surrey & Hampshire and surrounding areas. We support teenagers and their families / carers facing SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) challenges.

In addition, we work to promote awareness and understanding of mental-health and emotional wellbeing for young people in the broader community.

Our purpose is to achieve positive, measurable outcomes for teen mental health, including self-love, active lifestyles, social interaction and inclusion, as well as the development and application of a range of learned skills.

We achieve this via:

What people say about the Green Hub…

“Working in the garden is one of the best parts of the week. It’s such a calming and friendly place to just spend a few hours being in nature and forgetting about worries and stresses. The adult volunteers couldn’t be kinder and the garden is the perfect place to just take a moment and relax.”
