Young Carers – Decider Skills Groupwork
A special shout out to some of our fantastic young carers from Baldragon Academy! 🌟
Throughout this term, these young people have taken part in after-school sessions focused on learning Decider Skills – practical strategies to help manage emotions, cope with challenges, and build resilience. Each week, they created and added items to their own Wellbeing Toolboxes, which they can take home and use as reminders of the skills they’ve learned.
To celebrate everyone’s hard work, we enjoyed a trip to The Escape Rooms this week. It was great fun and a perfect opportunity to put some of those Decider Skills into practice… especially when cracking the codes became a little frustrating!
A big thank you to Ross from Dundee Carers Centre and Nicky, schools Pupil Support Worker.
for their support in delivering the sessions. The biggest thanks of all goes to the young people involved for giving up their time each week – we know how challenging this can be when balancing a caring role.
This programme is fully funded through the Dundee Young Carers Subgroup, and we’re looking forward to delivering our Young Carers Decider Skills groupwork across more schools over the coming year.
