Peer Connector Project
The Peer Connector Project is a newly launched, NHS-funded initiative designed to support young people aged 16–24 who are experiencing mild mental health challenges that may be impacting their engagement with education, training, or employment.
The project focuses on early intervention and prevention, providing young people with tailored support to help them rebuild confidence, identify personal goals, and overcome barriers that may be affecting their attendance, motivation, or wellbeing.
Support is delivered through regular one-to-one sessions, offering a consistent and safe space where young people can:
- Explore their goals and aspirations
- Build confidence and resilience
- Develop practical strategies to overcome barriers to education and work
- Talk openly about challenges affecting their mental health and wellbeing
Each young person is supported at their own pace, with activities and guidance designed to help them progress towards positive outcomes in education or employment.
