‘Resilient Me’: Mental Health & Well-being in Schools
‘Resilient Me’ is a unique service designed to better recognise, understand and support the mental health and wellbeing of young Muslims.
It is delivered in partnership by national children’s charity The Children’s Society, which has over 130 years’ experience directly supporting children, young people and families, and also produces the annual Good Childhood report into children’s wellbeing in the UK, and Better Community Business Network.
The ‘Resilient Me’ project is working with young people, schools and the wider community to find solutions to the complex mental health concerns faced by young Muslims in London. While generic mental health support is available for young Muslims, the ‘Resilient Me’ programme is informed by research which indicates the importance of culturally informed and faith-sensitive mental health services for young Muslims.* The same research shows that a lack of religious and cultural awareness from services can be a barrier to young people accessing the support they need.
The programme offers:
- Counsellors and faith-sensitive support
- Activities and workshops for young people
- Advice and resources for schools
- Training and materials for educators
- Parent workshops
