The Cruse Bereavement Care NI ‘Somewhere For Us’ project has been created to bring young people together in NI after the death of a loved one. The project aims to form connections and lasting communities between those who have been bereaved through our Youth Advisory Group (YAG).
Has someone you love died?
Are you between the ages of 12-24 years old living within Northern Ireland (NI)?
Do you want to become part of a community of other young people who just ‘get it’?

Being kind and warm-hearted is the secret to a happier life and a better world

WHO KNOWS THE NEEDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE BETTER THAN THEMSELVES? NO ONE!
We supply schools with all the information, guidance, and resources they need to help pupils and staff successfully raise awareness of mental health and its importance in their schools. Pure Mental School Committees are pupil-led, organised groups of mental health champions within schools, with a focus and passion for improving mental health education and awareness within their own school. Who knows the needs, views, and best strategies to take for young people, than young people themselves? No one! Pure Mental Committees put young people at the forefront of the discussion on mental health; to build lines of communication between young people, their peers, and their school; and assist schools through any available training, support and resources available, at no cost to schools themselves. As a result, these committees, on a more personal level, equip pupils with leadership, organisational and communication skills, as well as experience in carrying out research, voluntary work and team-building which can be invaluable in their future education and life beyond school. Committees also give staff and pupils an opportunity to work together as each committee should be supported by a member of staff to help pupils organise and co-ordinate meetings, events, and projects. Acting as a liaison between Pure Mental and schools allows us to provide services, resources and recommendations, uncovering data, ideas and insight so more accurate conclusions can be made in our wider research. This will help us secure more funding and resources for schools to enhance their education on mental health and help facilitate new services, training and/or workshops.

PURE MENTAL ARE LAUNCHING OUR ‘IN SCHOOL’ MENTAL HEALTH TOOLKITS FOR KS1
Designed to introduce key concepts of well-being and a healthy mindset, our KS1 toolkits explore topics such as friendships, talking, bullying, stress, anxiety, sadness and grief in an age-appropriate manner. Resources within the toolkits are tailored to talk directly to each key stage group using activities, colouring exercises, assemblies, posters and more. KS1 pupils will also be our area of focus for the first set of kits before moving on to KS2 and secondary schools. Every resource that we have designed for the ToolKits have been selected and devised with the aim of improving young people’s understanding of mental-wellbeing, emotions, how to verbalise their thoughts as well as how to look to out for other people’s well-being as well as their own. Our first KS1 ToolKit, which focuses on intervention, has been successfully designed and distributed to trial in several schools around Northern Ireland. We plan on gathering research and feedback from our schools, to form an evaluation report on the ToolKit. The next step will be formally launching our KS1 ToolKits into as many Primary Schools across Northern Ireland as possible. We will be providing both secondary and primary schools with kits as part of our overarching mental health education programme that spans the entire educational journey of young people.
