Headscape
HeadScape has been designed for young people, by other young people in Bexley, to give them a trusted website to use for information, to check how they feel and even take a test to find out if they need help with their emotions.
HeadScape is a 'one stop' source of self-help about a range of mental health issues and conditions for young people to browse at leisure.
Uniquely, HeadScape offers young people the opportunity to independently undertake a mental health screening questionnaire, which when completed, provides individually tailored advice and information. Depending on the results, the site can offer young people living in Bexley and Greenwich the option to self-refer directly into their local Children and Young People's Mental Health Services.
Designed to work on tablets, smart phones and computers, the site is simple to use and highly visual with well-designed, colour-coded emoticons to represent feelings and situations.
The range supported includes:
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR)
NVR is a concept which draws inspiration from those who have sought to bring about changes in society in a non violent manner; Gandhi and Martin Luther King being amongst the most famous examples.
The programme aims to assist the parents and carers of children who are displaying challenging behaviours.
NVR was originally for parents of children who show violence. It is also very effective with ADHD, ASD, defiance, as well as significant anxiety. The age range is usually 10-17.
The parents are guided through a set of core principles which are adaptable to many situations. This equips the parents with confidence and self-control and enables them to address these behaviours in an effective manner.
At the same time, the parent focuses on rebuilding the loving parent/child relationship, which may have been lost over a period of time.
