Depaul UK delivers bold and energetic workshops to whole year groups, using digital media and creative techniques to educate young people about youth homelessness and related issues. We equip young people with crucial information early so they can safely navigate future challenges and know where to go for support.
We also offer schools a package of focussed workshops designed for smaller groups who are at higher risk.
We work with schools long-term so that we can best support their young people, and where relevant refer them into our other targeted services including family support and emergency accommodation.
The programme aims to:
Young people have the chance to make the decisions for a teenager affected by homelessness, taking part in workshop activities to learn about family breakdown, healthy relationships, exploitation, identifying risks and seeking support.
A hard-hitting workshop which uses digital media and a compelling mystery to develop young peoples’ critical thinking skills and their understanding of youth homelessness. It explores healthy relationships with family and peers, conflict and risk-taking.
Focusing on their transition to adulthood, young people look in-depth at the reality of leaving home and their changing responsibilities, relationships, and decisions. They develop an understanding of why so many young people experience homelessness and are given vital information on the options and support available.
