Health & Wellbeing Mentoring Support:  This support is available, at no cost, to secondary schools and settings across the city, which have bought into the cluster offer, to who work with students in years 10 and 11.  

The approach for the mentoring support is in line with the Leeds Practice Model. This enables the team to work with the young people in a resilience focused way.  We will support any young person who is: 

  • Needing support with increasing confidence, resilience and social skills
  • Showing signs of anxiety, or depression
  • Showing signs of poor emotional health and wellbeing
  • Showing a decrease in attendance and attainment or has a history of low attendance and attainment and at risk of becoming NEET
  • Showing difficulties in identifying and establishing healthy relationships
