This project in more detail
Through my work as a holistic therapist and meditation teacher, I have developed a programme of relaxation classes, which I want to offer to assist young people who are currently in treatment for substance misuse. By showing young people new ways to cope with stress, this programme will help to make a difference to their anxiety levels, self worth and confidence. The programme will be run from the Holistic Life Centre, which I run. All we need is £200 to get this extremely important project off the ground. We believe it’s the start of something special that will really make a difference to the lives of our young people. Classes will be referred through ‘Catch22-24/7’ in Surrey which provides a free specialist treatment support for young people, aged 11 to 21, who have problems with drugs or alcohol, from July. Care workers will be in attendance. Photo (c) Catch22

"Hello again... For your information: The CRB check is all complete and passed. I am now a fully fledged volunteer member of Catch 22. I'm currently working with Catch 22 a day a week, shadowing experienced practitioners as they work with young people on a one to one basis. In addition, I'm visiting the Josephine Butler Unit, a 16 bed junenville secure unit housed within Downview Womans Prison, Sutton. Here I'm slowly gaining experience with a view, I hope, to teach these young woman some meditation techniques in the future. Self esteem, anger management and relaxation... FINALLY, another important THANK YOU needs to go to The South St Clinic in Dorking, for allowing me to use a room there at a very reasonable rate, so enabling this project to begin. "
