The Good Shepherd Wellbeing Support Service • The Wellbeing Support Service offers a holistic approach to promoting the health & wellbeing of all young people in the centre through supporting young people to develop their knowledge, understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes required for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing and instilling a feeling of hope for now and in the future. Using specialised interventions we promote, support and encourage the development of these skills.
Hope • Hope can be described as a mindset consisting of a positive view of the future for self and others.

The meaning of ‘Hope’for me Natalie Connell
Background of young people • Higher proportion of ACES • Experienced multiple placement breakdowns. • Have been exposed to multiple traumatic events. • Feeling unsafe within the community and displaying risk taking behaviours. • Limited emotional regulation skills. • Lack of trust/ mistrust in adults. • No hope for the future / belief that they should have a positive outcome.
“Hope comes from the moment to moment experiences in daily life that show a child that adults can be trusted; that people can be honest caring and safe. Its not the sophistication of psychological interpretations of behaviour, but the consistency of kindness that changes a child” (Dr Bruce Perry)
