The Positive - ID is a 6 week project where the young person goes on a journey to understand who they are, where they are from and what are their strengths. Young people today can readily tell you what they are not good at and often struggle to tell you what they are good at. Over 6 weeks the participants are encouraged to look at their roots, consider their culture, strengths, important people and gifts as well as their hopes and dreams.

At the end of the 6 weeks participants are often feel very inspired and have a greater sense of self. One of our mantras is that "in order to navigate life successfully, you need to know who you are". When you leave your house you have a rough idea of where you are going, positive -id does this also. In some schools we are supported by mental teams who are on hand to support participants should they need further support. Positive - ID is a great tool to encourage participants to talk and an early intervention to talking therapies.
