EMPOWERMENT.
Be YOU in any situation
Knowing ourself and who we truly are is a lifelong challenge. We are conditioned by the expectations and systems around us as we grow up. They shape us, but as we grow they often fail to serve us as we would like. How can we help young people to see habits and beliefs about themselves that are not serving them? How can we help them discover the real them? How do we help empower them to be themselves in any situation?
How?
We do not have all the answers, but we do have some tools that we can share and assist young people to find their SPARK.
By individualising learning and taking away the strict boundries of the traditional school day we can start to let young people explore their learning and find the areas where they experience JOY. Maybe it is creating a basic computer program, helping others with their learning, organising a loppis, caring for a sick animal. The options are as diverse and wide as the young people who attend.
If we equip them with skills to recognise emotion, manage stress, explore learning through our specialised Care Plan then they stand a great chance of finding their inner SPARK.
And that is our goal.
