  3. The Good Shepherd Wellbeing Support Service • The Wellbeing Support Service offers a holistic approach to promoting the health & wellbeing of all young people in the centre through supporting young people to develop their knowledge, understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes required for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing and instilling a feeling of hope for now and in the future. Using specialised interventions we promote, support and encourage the development of these skills.

  4. Hope • Hope can be described as a mindset consisting of a positive view of the future for self and others. Remaining hopeful over the course of life is at the core of resiliency and the ability to bounce back while facing problems and the stress that goes along with those problems. Having hope will guides resiliency while you achieve your goals and dreams.

Its not the sophistication of psychological interpretations of behaviour, but the consistency of kindness that changes a child” (Dr Bruce Perry)
