That’s Me! aims to make a positive impact to teenagers aged 12 to 19 who could benefit from wellbeing support. Once a week, they get to socialise, make new friends and be themselves without any judgement. That’s Me! offers one-to-one advice as well as group activities.
This role involves having a basic understanding of mental health and an interest in supporting young people who might experience challenges.
