Thursday Drop In
The fortnightly drop in for lads and dads is to be relaunched. Working in partnership with South Tees Youth Offending Service, Public Health South Tees and North East Young Lads and Dads, the drop in session looks to improve the confidence, build self-esteem, build positive relationships with support services and offer positive activities to encourage changes of behaviour. Following a revamp of The Live Well Centre, the sessions will take place on floor 4 with access to the popular gym. Attendees have easy access to support around substance misuse, family support and parenting. Following a successful funding bid to the NHS Healthier Together programme, the session will soon be further enhanced with new resources and planned activities.
There are plans afoot to launch an offering for girls.
If you are working with a young lad or dad and want them to be involved please contact Andy (andy_appleyard@middlesbrough.gov.uk)
