imprisonment.

relationships & self esteem.
> Bullying and gang culture
> One to one support in school with a
dedicated worker focussing on the
needs of the child.
> Focussed Group Work in Schools
including:
– Bullying
– Social Skills
– Self Esteem
– Friendships
– Gangs

> Holiday Activities

friends
