Having Youth Unity work with some of our most challenging students has been an incredibly valuable intervention. Sandra and Paul have built a fantastic rapport with the students they connect with at Lift Clacton, engaging them in meaningful conversations on a wide range of topics, issues, and concerns. They provide thoughtful advice while teaching vital skills such as resilience and effective strategies for managing challenges.
Our students genuinely look forward to their weekly sessions with Sandra and Paul, finding tremendous value in the one-to-one support they receive. What’s even more remarkable is their flexibility and willingness to adapt their approach to meet the needs of our students. For example, they often facilitate group sessions for two students when one of them is feeling particularly vulnerable or anxious, creating a supportive and collaborative environment that meets individual needs.
Sandra and Paul’s deep understanding of our students and their families within the community is invaluable. Their insights and collaboration equip us as staff to better support both the students and their families in meaningful and informed ways.
We are incredibly grateful to Sandra and Paul for their ongoing commitment, not only to our students at Lift Clacton but also to building strong, collaborative relationships with our staff.
Thank you for the positive impact you continue to have on our school community.
