YLF deliver a leading mentoring programme with HeadStart Kent that is carried out in Maidstone, Thanet, Dover, and Tonbridge and Malling.
HeadStart aims to equip young people to better deal with difficult circumstances in their lives. HeadStart’s focus is to build a sustainable system where every young person in Kent will be able to say with confidence:
“People around me understand wellbeing and how to promote it.”
“My overall wellbeing is not impacted by the pressure to achieve and to be perfect.”
“There is always someone for me to talk to.”
Find out more about HeadStart on their website.
HeadStart partners can refer a young person by completing a referral. The form must be emailed across with the Resilience Conversation Document to ylfheadstart@ylf.org.uk.
