Street Aid is an innovative training programme for young people which prepares them to respond to difficult situations in a pro-active way to help safeguard themselves and others.
The interactive series of workshops encourage dialogue about key social issues facing young people in our communities and aim to reduce the escalating levels of violence and fatalities linked to knife crime.
Taking the principles of Emergency First Aid, we make them relevant to the type of injuries that may occur as a result of conflict in the street. In addition to basic first aid training we cover gun shot and knife wounds, acid attacks and other injuries that could be encountered. We show individuals how they can use what's on/near them to help preserve life in the absence of a first aid kit, ensuring they maintain their own personal safety at all times.
Instant gratification dominates many young peoples thinking skills and thought processes. Act now, think later is very much the sad reality. During this session we break down the decision making process to encourage young people to consider the consequences and impact their decisions can have on themselves and those around them. Considering the consequences of your actions has never been so important.
Knowing how to respond to conflict to avoid physical interaction can be incredibly challenging for some people. During this session we ensure individuals have a succinct and sound understanding of conflict and the reasons it exists. We explore the stages of escalation and how to carry out a dynamic risk and threat assessment. Finally, we will ensure young people know and understand a range of practical strategies for dealing with challenging behaviour and de-escalating conflict.
Never has it been so important to talk. The pressures and stresses faced by many young people can have a profound impact on mental health and behaviour. This workshop seeks to break down the barriers of communication and encourage individuals to spot the warning signs, in themselves and those around them, that can impact mental wellbeing We will identify coping strategies and preventative measures that promote resilience.
Some people think that carrying a knife makes them feel safer, but statistically it increases the likelihood of them being a victim of knife crime. This session looks at the reasons people decide to carry knives and explores the impact thiscan have not only on the individual but on others and the community as a whole.
