Welcome to VirtueYouth!

Why VirtueYouth?

Our vision is to primarily focus on a ‘preventative support network’ which will support young people through life to a point where they are independent, emotionally strong and focused

Activities Programme

The 'VirtueYouth' programme will be split initially into three core areas of support:

Engagement Activities

Will predominantly focus on allowing the young person to gently assimilate to a level of trust with the service providers without feeling threatened or in some way negatively challenged. These activities would generally be open to all and would include orienteering, paint-balling, bike riding, team games and such like…

Group Work

A group of individuals considered (following assessment) to benefit from being counselled within a group setting, offering an opportunity to explore feelings, thoughts and behaviour, either directly or indirectly, with a qualified and expert youth counsellor. Together they will explore possible coping strategies, unexpressed emotions, managing relationships, emotional strengths and many other areas to support the young person’s emotional and mental health development. It could also help them to have a better understanding of situations and support them in making decisions about their lives.

Individual Counselling

Provides young people (who feel unable, or are not able, to benefit from group work) with the opportunity to explore feelings, thoughts and behaviour, either directly or indirectly, with a qualified and expert youth counsellor. Together they will explore possible coping strategies, unexpressed emotions, managing relationships, emotional strengths and many other areas to support the young person’s emotional and mental health development. It could also help them to have a better understanding of situations and support them in making decisions about their lives.
