Getting into Youth Work
[SWYM trainee working with Catalyst]
What we achieved:
- We have given a student an opportunity to become a youth worker and help young people to achieve
A Key Support System
I have been supported by Catalyst now since year 7 and they have helped me so much. I really enjoy the sessions they led and it has helped me deal with stuff in school. [young person in school]
What we achieved:
- We have supported a young person throughout their education and helped them overcome problems in school
Building Positive Relationships
The Support Group helped me with my anger towards my friends, family and teachers. The group helped me to deal with this anger in a more helpful way, which meant that I was able to learn well in school and have a better relationship with my friends and family. [Y9 support group student]
What we achieved:
- We have helped a young person to build positive relationships in school and to strengthen their personal relationships
Our Work Makes a Difference
During the support groups, I have loved being able to help a few young people with their self-worth. One of the Year 9 girls used to not be able to see anything positive in her life and she used to think that everyone was judging her physical appearance and her opinions. Since I have been supporting her, she has been able to identify some positive elements of her appearance and she has been able to appreciate her opinions. Moreover, she has seen that not everyone is judging her but that some people really appreciate her. [SWYM trainee supporting a Y9 student]

It was great yesterday to finally meet Monday night group in person. For the younger group we spoke about why Jesus is important, and for the older group we spoke about injustice and racism
Starting this Thursday 10th September 2020, Catalyst Tavistock will be in Horrabridge Weir Park EVERY OTHER THURSDAY, 8-9pm enjoying free hot chocolate and doughnuts if your teen/youth would like to join them.
☕️🍫🍩
We will be socially distancing using the outdoor space in the park but at the same time trying to stay connected.
What a great social event we had tonight to start the new term and a beautiful sunset.
