At Sussex Tuition Centre we provide initial support, strategies and signposts to further relevant services.
Our trained mental health first aiders can help address issues such as exam-related stress, anxiety and bullying.
We believe in a positive and supportive approach that empowers young people to take control of their mental well-being.
We follow a ‘5 step approach’, which helps us to provide effective and targeted support to young people:
1) Assess risk
2) Listen non-judgmentally
3) Give reassurance and information
4) Encourage appropriate professional help
5) Encourage self-help and other support strategies.
Assess risk
This includes recognising any potential risk factors and understanding the young person's individual situation. This allows us to tailor our support to their specific needs.
Listen non-judgementally
This involves creating a safe and confidential space for young people to talk about their concerns and feelings. Our mental health first aiders are trained to listen actively and empathetically, without judging or offering unsolicited advice.
Give reassurance and information
This involves providing young people with accurate and relevant information about mental health, as well as reassuring them that they are not alone in their struggles. We believe in empowering young people by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their mental health.
Encourage appropriate professional help
If necessary, we will signpost young people to relevant mental health services, such as counselling or therapy. We believe in working collaboratively with other mental health professionals to ensure that young people receive the best possible care and support.
Encourage self-help and other support strategies
We believe that young people can play an active role in managing their mental well-being by adopting healthy habits, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness. We will provide young people with practical strategies and tools that they can use to support their mental health on a day-to-day basis.
At Sussex Tuition Centre we are committed to supporting young people to achieve their full potential, both academically and emotionally.
We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We are dedicated to promoting positive well-being for all young people.
