Give me strength KS3/4

GIVE ME STRENGTH KS3/4 - PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The student pack - contains between 19 - 24 worksheets which enable the student to develop skills, log their thoughts and feelings and to form the basis of the discussions.
The facilitator pack - accompanies the student pack contains roughly 35 - 40 pages which support the worksheets, suggesting what to discuss, which issues to cover and how to encourage good debate.
The intervention - is divided up into 7 sessions, covering different aspects of the programme.

AIMS OF THE INTERVENTION
This is an intervention aimed at students who suffer from low confidence, anxiety, phobias and are generally lost in their world. It differs from many of the programme because it focuses more on them and how they navigate their world; aiming to establish triggers to their behaviour and addressing them giving the student skills and tools to escape from their negative world.
FACILITATOR NOTES
These students tend to be unsure of themselves and extremely vulnerable; so managing them through this intervention programme will be a delicate task. They will likely be different sorts of phobia and anxiety etc, but hopefully they will find reassurance and support from their peers and grow in confidence as a result.

BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE INTERVENTION SESSIONS
1. How strong am I? - Getting to know you basics, with an emphasis on feelings and emotions.
2. What pushes my buttons? - Seeking out possible negative events and issues which may have influenced the anxiety and phobia.
3. What is my go to response? - Establishing what the ‘normal’ behaviour is and discussing alternatives.
4. What are my triggers? - Looking at what/who may be triggering the situations, feelings and difficulties.
5. How do I want to be? - Continuing the reframing and alternative positive framework for the future.
6. The way forward - Cementing the positives and making plans for future issues.
7. Follow up - General, but ongoing positive focus.
SPECIAL NOTE This is an area of need which I believe is growing, in an ever demanding world weighing down upon young people. I believe that all children would benefit from this programme through PHSE maybe, because as stated it isn’t always those who ‘shout the loudest’ who are most in need.
