BEYOND THE GATE
Who are we?
The Sid Youth has been established to offer a variety of support to young people throughout West Sussex's and surrounding areas. We explore areas of needs to benefit both, the young people as well as the community.
​
What is beyond the gate mentoring?
A mentoring project for young people identified as being in need of support to make positive changes and to help reduce risk to them and the community.
Sessions will be strengths based and we will look at any barriers stopping positive change. we will explore the risks short & long term of poor behaviour. we will do this by supporting them to engage with other specialist services and introducing them to positive activates within their community.
Who is beyond the gate for?
This program is aimed at young people between 11-16 who are coming to the attention of other services due to their behaviour either within school or out in the community. services may have concerns around them being exploited or at risk of being involved in criminality.
Why is it needed?
We are aware that many young people struggle with their behaviour both in school and outside a school setting. Due to covid-19 pastoral teams within schools are having increasingly high demand for their support for their students and with other support services already extremely stretched we want to provide a responsive service in a timely manner for those not being reached.
Want to know more?
This program can be tailored to suit the needs of your young person.
