​The Young People’s Groups at CFF provide lots of psychoeducation for the young people and most importantly, it helps them feel less alone! The majority of the young people who attend the groups have anxiety around school.

As you may or may not know,  CFF was established in 1990. Over the years, CFF have not only worked directly with Young People, but also offered parallel services to their parents/carers. From the original long standing ‘Living with Teenagers’ groups to the more recent anxiety sessions,  the ‘ABC model’ has remained a core concept used within all of the parenting groups.

For many years CFF have been supporting young people and families to manage their mental health and wellbeing. However, supporting the wellbeing and mental health of its staff and volunteers is also hugely important to CFF.

Here at CFF we have recently attended essential safeguarding training. For some of us a refresh and for others attending for the first time. In my CEO and Designated Safeguarding lead role I was struck by three key areas, although not new I welcome the opportunity to reflect and consider how we can make the most of every contact and seize opportunities however small as we begin to navigate our way out of the very different behaviours that have established for us all during the pandemic.

From time to time, everyone will experience the feelings such as stress, anxiety and worry. It can feel very overwhelming and can even take over our lives. Not only does this affect us emotionally, but also our thoughts, bodily symptoms and the way we behave. Therefore, we need to acknowledge when we have these emotions and take control!
