North Glasgow Youth Stress CentreAs part of Royston Stress Centre, the Youth Stress Centre offers an outreach service to 11-18 year olds in North Glasgow. Our aim is to support the empowerment, and improve the mental health of young people, and through early intervention and prevention programmes work to reduce the risk(s) that might lead to mental ill health. We work with young people to help them recognise and develop the emotional tools and capabilities to deal with life. Through our young person centred approach we work with vulnerable young people (and with parents) in various school and community settings. An example of this is where we have teamed up with local schools to promote emotional and intellectual growth in tandem offering counseling and specialist Emotional Literacy group work programmes. “YSC enhance
the Personal and Social Education Programme which
contributes to raising attainment.” |

What is Emotional Literacy?Broadly it is the ability to understand and talk about feelings and to be aware of the impact this can have on not just one life but on the lives of those around you. Working with young people we help them to recognise and manage their own feelings and to empathise with their classmates and others involved in their lives. “There should be
more classes like this” |
Our ApproachEach young person is recognised as an individual with unique needs and interests. We believe in empowering young people, providing opportunities to gain more control of their lives and enhance and unlock their potential. We involve young people in the planning and development of the programmes. Evaluation highlights
