Bridge to Belonging: Empowering Teens and Young Adults with the Essential Tools to Thrive in Today’s World.

​

Bridge to Belonging is a 12-week mentoring program crafted for teenagers and young adults. This crucial time of growth, self-discovery, and navigating social situations can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster, both for young people and their parents or carers. Having the guidance of a mentor during this period can make all the difference, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies.

 

The program is designed to empower young individuals (aged 15-24) to confidently navigate social situations, embrace their authentic selves, and foster lasting positive growth. Through personalised one-on-one support, participants learn essential skills like expressing their needs and emotions in healthy ways, building meaningful connections, and improving self-worth. The program helps them overcome social challenges, build resilience, and create positive changes that lead to fulfilling relationships and personal growth.

 

The program is best suited for individuals aged 15-24. Sessions are conducted online, and participants will need access to a phone or computer with video capabilities.
