Supporting Peer-Led Change with Children, Young People and Families

Moray Wellbeing Hub CIC focus on Keith with their next young people and family’s wellbeing project ‘Keith Connects 21’. This new project is about supporting peer-led change with children, young people and families, and will run till the end of April, supported by Edintore Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund. connect and young people wellbeing sessions are planned. This will culminate in a community event in the spring.

This project is building on the great connections achieved during the walks and wild swimming in the Keith Peers 21 Project and the mental health first aid skills training in the young champions leadership project, delivered in the last 6 months and the ongoing success of a project with Speyside Highschool that focuses in the same areas.

There are two short videos available on you tube of the previous projects that supported this new Keith focus. The links are below if you can access them.

• Keith Peers 21 Project (supported by Hill of Towie Wind Farm) with wild swimming and parent walks completed August 2021. https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=es3nUwCnAfQ

• Young Champions leadership Project (supported by MFR Cash For Kids), completed November with young leaders training their peers in mental health first aid skills https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=es3nUwCnAfQ

My Big Life Course

Young people engaged in-person in a CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) course and were supported by their parents over 5-week sessions.

Despite the challenges of changes in COVID guidance during delivery, a wide range of activities were delivered directly in-person, with new friendships and peer-support emerging from the connections made by participants.

All this is hoped to be continued in this new project for the Keith area. One parent who took part said, “It was really therapeutic to talk to other parents who fully understood the challenges in getting the right support and understanding for their child/young person for their additional support needs and their mental health” The success of previous projects now means that the parents and partners involved in Keith are keen to widen what has been started. The new funding will help resource parents and young people as emerging community leads for partnership working, with key partners to include Moray Council, Developing Young Workforce, Keith Grammar, and the Loft project. Jean Pryde, Project Leader and Volunteer Coordinator at Moray Wellbeing Hub said “This project has been invaluable to those within the Keith area. Now we have more funding, we hope to build on the great work already completed, and to support the mental health of more children, young people and their families during these continued challenging times”.
