Youth Coaching

Are you looking for a way to support and uplift your child?

One of the greatest support systems we can provide for our children is a safety net of supportive and uplifting role models.

Our Youth Coaching takes a village approach to empowering children, teens and families. At Standing Strong we assist parents and families by helping them through their parenting journey. Our specialised Youth Coaches are here to encourage, support, inspire and motivate children to be everything they were born to be!

1-2-1 YOUTH COACHING

Standing Strong one-to-one Youth Coaching is a personalised, empowering and solutions focused approach to supporting children and teens through the challenges they face.

Designed as a mental health early intervention and crisis prevention option, Youth Coaching is supportive, comforting, non-clinical and family focused.

Standing Strong Youth Coaching covers 40 personal development topics, each with a clear focus on encouraging productive decision making, goal setting, positive attitudes, personal responsibility, accountability, encouragement, connection and support.

HOW IT WORKS....

First Online Session: The first session is a ‘get-to-know-you’ discovery session. Your Youth Coach will explore 6 key areas of your child’s life and uncover what your child feels is going well and what is not going so well. From there, together they will explore what changes your child feels would be beneficial to their life. By the end of the first session, your child and their coach will create a goal for your child to move forward with. They will also explore the Standing Strong topics which are available for ongoing sessions.

Ongoing Online Sessions: Each ongoing session covers a particular topic. Topics can be chosen by parents/carers, children/teens, or can be recommended by Youth Coaches. When booking ongoing sessions, you will be able to select the topic you would like your child to explore. During the session your Youth Coach will go through a series of questions related to the topic, top tips for creating positive change, challenge questions to work through and a take away goal. There will also be a motivational component to help inspire, empower and uplift your child. There are no minimum or maximum sessions.

A VILLAGE APPROACH

The greatest influence in a child’s life is their parents. We’re here to help parents feel more supported, more informed and less alone on their parenting journey.

Parents Say…

“Thank you so much for the work that you have done with Sarah. I am so grateful for your support and can’t believe how far she has come in such a short time. I love that she has role models like you and the rest of the team. She tells me that she wants to be just like you when she is an adult and is keen to study psychology so that she can also help young women.” – Kelly (Happy Parent)
