Our Dear Youngers mental health and resilience programme is a very innovative, therapeutic, solution-based programme, engaging, young African Caribbean males around wellbeing and mental health resilience and exploring adverse childhood experiences in a safe environment that is psychologically informed, culturally sensitive, delivered and facilitated by relatable role models.

This approach has been independently evaluated by the Centre for Mental Health and can be found in a report titled, Against the Odds.

To bridge the gap between the taught curriculum from KS3-4 on every day issues young people face today. We understand that young people must be prepared to face the challenges of the environment they will one day enter.

We aim to cultivate leadership and business principles that we believe many young people potentially possess. Sometimes, due to lack of mentoring, support and advice, they don’t know how to translate the skills they may have gained from ‘the street’ into the world of business and entrepreneurship.

At Kitchen Table Talks we encourage communication of all kinds!  We believe that having a safe and open platform for you to share, will support growth and confidence. So come on, let’s talk!
