SVeersssioino3n.01 Recording Session Recording Comment/Follow on from Previous session (Input to progress/comments on SharePoint) Today was the first session with my new group at St. Mary's and the session went really well. There were 20 young people in attendance today. Issues or themesarising Young people seemed a bit wary at the start of the session as they arrived into the class. After introducing myself and explaining what i was here to do, young people seemed a bit more comfortable. We achieved everything that i hoped to as we devised a 'working agreement', agreed on the top 6 issues we would address on the programme and young people also completed a baseline questionnaire, which will help me monitor the impact of the programme against the expected outcomes. Behaviour (Comment on participation/group process/roles etc.) There were no behavioural issues in today’s session at all. Young people participated really well, and the feel good Jenga exercise really encouraged conversation amongst group members. Feedback from young people indicates that they enjoyed the session and i am looking forward to working with this group over the next 6-7 weeks. Any actions agreed or areas to follow up Devise a Programme around the following issues; Mental health, Body Image LGBTQ+ Confidence and Self-esteem Relationships Indicators of change/progression/regression N/A Date of nextmeeting 21st March 2019 P a g e | 10

SVeersssioino3n.02 Recording Session Recording Comment/Follow on from Previous session (Input to progress/comments on SharePoint) Group seem really happy to be taking part in this programme, we have full attendance again Issues or themesarising Today's session focused on Mental health. We started with a discussion on what thoughts / feelings come to mind when young people hear the term Mental Health. We broke the group into 2 sub-groups and done a balloon exercise which required the young people to list some of the factors / issues that would lead to poor mental health in young people on sticky labels and attach them to the balloons We then had 2 volunteers (1) from each group to stand in the corner. The young people took turns to try and carry the 'issues' from one side of the room to the other. The aim of the exercise is to highlight that you can’t deal with all the various issues that young people may be dealing with and this is highlighted with the volunteers failing to ‘deal’ with all these issues as the balloons spill over. A debrief on the exercise and some problem solving ideas from the young people request a few other volunteers help out to carry the issues. We finished the exercise by discussing that there is going to be times when we feel overwhelmed with some of the life experiences that we find ourselves facing and if we let these build up, then they can begin to ‘spill’ over like the balloons. We talked about reaching out to others, Friends, Family, Trusted Adults who we can talk to and help alleviate some of the problems and how this can have a positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing. We finished the session by breaking the group into 4 smaller groups, to create our mental health tree. The first group looked at the roots; The main factors that lead to poor mental health in young people. The next group looked at the Trunk; The signs that someone may be experiencing poor mental health, characteristics etc. The 3rd Group looked at the leaves – Interventions / coping strategies that we can do in order to improve our mental health and wellbeing. And the final group looked at the fruit of the tree - the benefits of applying these interventions / coping strategies and how it impacts our mental health. Behaviour (Comment on participation/group process/roles etc) For such a big group, there were no behaviour issues today. Young people are working really well together, (Tuckman 1965) talks about group development as a 4 stage process, however this group seem to be at the 'Performing' stage already. They are well aware of the issues / factors that lead to poor mental health. Feedback from the young people in Evaluation indicates that they really enjoyed the session. Any actions agreed or areas to follow up The young people requested that we cover Social media and Body Image in our next session. Indicators of change/progression/regression All young people were participating really well today. Our session was mixed up, which seemed to meet the learning needs of the group, and I will take this into consideration when planning future sessions. Date of nextmeeting 3rd April 2019 P a g e | 17
