Teen Talk (Harwich)

Teen Talk (Harwich) provides one-to-one sessions for young people in Tendring where they can talk about their worries and receive advice.

Support workers address a range of issues in these sessions including mental health, low self-esteem, bullying and the pressures of social media, all of which can play a critical role in preventing a young person from reaching their full potential.

Alongside this, Teen Talk also runs weekly group activities such as cookery workshops, wildlife activities and volunteering programmes, helping their young people to further develop confidence, social skills and build friendships.

Funding from us helped them to employ a co-ordinator to expand their work and further develop the sessions and activities they offer.
