Youth Worker Support
and
Arts Therapies
Younify is an early intervention project for 16-25 year old girls and young women struggling with lower level mental health challenges. We combine 1-2-1 youth work support for up to 6 sessions to build up trust, help remove barriers and introduce young people and young adults to the idea of Arts therapy.
We are currently open for a new round of referrals so no waitlist.

It is an opportunity to talk things out with someone outside your friends or family, get advice, tools, techniques, help with practical solutions and advocacy or just feel heard. What you tell us is totally confidential unless you disclose serious risk to yourself or others. ​
​
The young person/ young adult then has the opportunity to work with an Arts therapist for another 6 weeks-10 weeks approx, this could be a creative form of their choice for example dance, art, music, and drama therapy. Young people and young adults also have the chance to join our Young Person and young adult steering group to affect change at Gorse Hill Studios and wider for girls and young women's mental health and wellbeing.
​
​
Arts therapies are a great way to work through struggles through a creative form you connect with and they offer the chance to express things that may be difficult to put into words. They offer a great tool for self-discovery and awareness as well as building self-belief and process difficult experiences.
This referral form will give us all the essential info needed to see if we can support you/ the young person/ young adult on this project and potentially begin our journey together.
