Empower is a free 6 month (24 weekly sessions) for young people between the age of 9-12 years old with a mild to moderate mental health diagnoisis or an individual who shows poor mental wellbeing. Sessions last 90 minutes involving 60minutes of physical activity in the form of a sport such as dodgeball, football, basketball etc followed by 30minute wellbeing workshop facilitated by Watford Trust coaches and a NESSie psychotherapist. 
 
The project is split into three phases, where we explore and implement different tools. Each phase has a different function to support your young person’s wellbeing:

• The development phase ( 12x weekly sessions) – teaching coping strategies
• The maintenance phase (6x weekly sessions) - exploring emotions
• The reflection phase ( 6x weekly sessions) – reflecting on tools and areas for extra support
