At Risk Young People: What We Do

Therapeutic Services

New Trails

Our 1:1 activity-based intervention service supports participants and their families by combining adventure activities with brief solution-focused coaching. We help young people identify challenges and take actionable steps towards positive change.

In today’s world of parental and peer pressures, our programmes bridge the gap between young people’s desire for independence and the responsibility that comes with it. Through carefully designed outdoor challenges, participants experience growth, confidence-building, and new perspectives, equipping them with the skills needed for adulthood.

New Trails replace the negative pressures of the teenage years with empowering, positive experiences. By stepping into "unfamiliar territory," participants build resilience, self-awareness, communication skills, and a stronger sense of responsibility. With a focus on increasing self-awareness, communication, and goal setting, young people develop the values and skills needed to create and maintain a healthier self-image, trustworthy relationships, and productive life skills.

The Active Connections staff know that everyone has the ability to overcome adversity. Our staff team has unconditional positive regard for the young people and the families we work with. We believe that parents and guardians play a pivotal role for the progression of our participants; with this, in mind, we offer a family intervention service with the aim of supporting appropriate, effective and lasting change for participants.
