What support is available?
A website for children and young people, aged 8-19, in the Wakefield District. It is full of useful information and top tips made by children and young people to help build their confidence and resilience. There's an online Drop in and Chat service for children and young people, staffed by Future in Mind Community Navigators and local Youth/ Support Workers. We are available to chat Tuesday and Thursday, 7-9pm.
We offer virtual sessions with young people, to go through the site with them and meet the team.

WF-I-Can Activities:
iSPACE5 will be holding 1-to-1 mentoring sessions which will support you to identify your strengths and what is important to you.
As part of the mentoring, you will meet with a Community Navigator/ mentor before any of the above sessions. This will be part of your journey through the activities. Mentors will assist in choosing an activity that works
for you, or one that can be identified from the wider programme.
All activities with mentors will support you to improve emotional well-being, develop key skills and support with managing change such as transition to High School.
