Time to Talk
Is your child/young person aged between 16 and 25?
Are they unsure what to do after lockdown? Would it help to talk to someone and develop their ideas?
Following the disruption caused by the pandemic and lockdown there is new support for young people (aged 16-25) with SEND to help them plan for the future.
Time to Talk is an exciting new 6 month programme for young people with SEND funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. It is aimed at 16-25 year olds with additional needs who are isolated and may not be engaged in education or training or have lost sight of their plans during lockdown. The programme aims to help build young people’s confidence and plan what they may want to do next.
The sessions are delivered online as either one-to-one or group sessions and are adapted to suit the individual’s needs. They will include:
- chatting and getting to know each other
- hearing what matters to you and your hopes for the future
- doing activity sheets together to help you to make a plan (this is to help you identify your goals and can be shared with others afterwards if you wish
Self-referrals are encouraged. The first deadline for submitting a Request for Support form is 10am on Monday 19 October 2020.
