Medway Therapeutic Alliance Mentoring

YLF is proud to be part of the Medway Therapeutic Alliance, led by North Kent Mind.

Together we are helping to develop a new early intervention emotional wellbeing and mental health service for children and young people in Medway, bringing support together in one place.

Our mentoring programmes offer young people the opportunity to connect with a trained volunteer mentor who provides encouragement, time and support.

Mentoring can include:

• One-to-one mentoring with a trusted adult role model
• Small peer wellbeing groups led by staff and volunteers
• Support delivered in schools, community settings and outdoor environments
• Activities and conversations that help young people explore their strengths and build confidence

Our support is non-clinical and focuses on building positive relationships that help young people feel heard, valued and supported.

All criteria below must be met in order to be eligible for Medway Therapeutic Alliance Mentoring support:

• Aged 5 to 18 (continued support may be available up to age 25 for Care Leavers or special educational needs & disabilities)
• Children and young people who live in Medway
• Children and young people who are experiencing mild to moderate emotional wellbeing needs
