They offer specialist support for care experienced young people, access to laptops and digital tools, CV support and mock interview guidance, housing and debt support, legal advice, advocacy services and many other vital interventions that exist to connect young people in the Liverpool City Region to potential employers.
Thrive commission First Person Project to offer a mix of counselling, wellbeing support and coaching to improve the mental health of people accessing our service at Thrive. Together, we hope to reduce the impact of poor mental health across our young people, allowing them to lead more fulfilling, safer, happier lives.
As an organisation completely designed to be socially focused and citizen-driven, we are incredibly proud of this work and our partnership Thrive!
“We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Thrive. This project is about taking action to mental health at the most critical time. The Young People across our local communities are in need and deserving of quality mental health support, delivered with them and not to them, in a timely manner.
There are a variety of complex socio-political issues impacting upon people’s ability to access professional mental health services, this is impacting upon rates of mental illness and, in the worst case, contributing to an increase of suicide.
Our collaboration offers a specialist service, without excessive barriers or bureaucracy, and in a manner which takes the whole person, their story and surroundings into account. This approach helps to build the social wealth needed to ensure a lasting improvement for many years. “
