Our Street Elite Academy held a valuable training day focused on mental health and safeguarding. Our coaches led a team activity that delved into the psychological development of individuals aged 4-25. Through this exercise, they explored how communication patterns evolve throughout these critical years.
To build on this, the coaches facilitated role-playing scenarios that our coach mentors might encounter regarding young people’s mental health. These practical exercises equipped them with the tools to navigate sensitive conversations confidently.
After each scenario, our experienced coaches provided insightful feedback, drawing from their own knowledge and experiences. This ensured that our team is prepared to handle these situations effectively if they arise.
The day concluded with safeguarding, guiding the participants through the process of completing incident forms and identifying the best points of contact for various situations.
While the day was challenging, our participants found it incredibly informative and walked away with new skills they were eager to put into practice.
