Youth Alive Launch
FAO: Primary and Secondary Schools, Young people aged 10-19, Teachers
Young people across Enfield will be connected with activities to encourage them to look after their wellbeing, build their confidence and learn new skills in a wide-reaching ‘social prescribing’ programme.
The Youth Alive programme is a joint initiative between Enfield Public Health, Youth Services Team, Enfield Voluntary Action (EVA) and community groups and is mostly centred around physical activities for 10 to 19-year olds in the borough.
Children and Young people will be referred to their local Health and Wellbeing Youth Worker, who will discuss what the young person’s interests are and signpost them to free or low-cost activities.
GPs and parents can also make referrals to the programme by emailing socialprescribing@enfieldva.org.uk, or by phone, 07513 358972. Following this referral process, a young person will be contacted by a Health and Wellbeing Youth Worker for support.
Youth Alive launches on 7 October 2021.
