Healthy Living Program
We provide workshops on nutrition, mental health, and physical activity aimed at promoting lifelong healthy habits. These sessions help build awareness of balanced living and empower young people to make informed health choices for their overall well-being.
"Students are all very keen to attend. This is a huge reflection on the work you do, as the need to address lifestyle can be a sensitive subject for many young people. The students chosen have differing reasons for being put forward for this course. They need to experience this in a safe and respectful environment. You provide this during your sessions.

FAQs

Young people can sign up for a Turnstyle programme through referrals made by their school or local community organisation. The process typically begins when a teacher, mentor, or youth worker identifies a young person who could benefit from Turnstyle’s support. The referral is then submitted to Turnstyle, where the team assesses the individual’s needs and suitability for the programme.
Alternatively, if a young person or their guardian is interested in getting involved, they can express their interest to their school or community organisation, who will guide them through the referral process. Turnstyle aims to ensure every participant is placed in a programme that best meets their developmental and wellbeing goals.

Our trauma-informed approach, combined with mentors who have lived life experience, helps create an environment built on trust, understanding, and personal growth. By recognising the impact of trauma on young people, we ensure our sessions are delivered with sensitivity, providing a safe and supportive space where participants feel heard and respected. Our mentors, who have overcome their own challenges, bring valuable insights and empathy, helping to form genuine connections with the young people.
This approach fosters not only a sense of belonging but also empowers participants to grow, develop resilience, and thrive within a nurturing and understanding setting.
