This is ME ( This is how it should be)

This is ME Workshop & journal is a fun way for girls to discuss such issues as body image, anxiety, depression, panic attacks and the after effects from the covid pandemic much more easily.

The journal's beautifully laid out sections will take attendees on a step by step journey, asking easy questions to enable discussion about emotions and fears. The workshop/journal also focuses on positivity and discusses future hopes and aspirations.

The free workshop funded by Children in Need will take place during the October half term holiday on Tuesday 29th October 11:00am - 4:00pm at Chesterfield Football Club. The session will last 5 hours with pizza lunch at 1:00pm.
Compassionate Voices CIC have safeguarding polices for young people and children, and all facilitators have enhanced DBS with child/young people's barred list.

"Year 8 had the pleasure of Sharon speaking to them last week as part of their PHSCE provision. The presentation was engaging and more importantly, empowering!! As a collective of both students and tutors, we left with raised awareness and increased positivity. Thank you, Sharon. "

Comments from Year 8s...

"I thought that Sharon was an amazing speaker to have. I liked her because she didn't pressure anyone to share but she shared her personal experiences to make us feel more comfortable. She also normalised talking and that it makes us feel better when we talk. My favourite thing she did was writing a love note to ourselves to read when we have bad days. also think it was great that she included the teachers."

"Sharon made me feel good about myself and helped us all embrace the things we loved about ourselves and that our insecurities are beautiful. She talked about her journey with mental health to let us know that we are not alone. My favourite thing she did was the little love letter to ourselves."

Student, Year 8
