My Plan For young people aged 13-19 years.
What is My Plan?
Your My Plan worker will support you to make a plan (My Plan), which is individual to you and your situation. You can work through your stuff at your own pace, focusing on what you need support for.
Your plan may change as different things happen and My Plan can work in a flexible way to help you deal with these changes, offering the space to work in a practical way or just to talk.
Why might I want to try My Plan?
If you could do with a bit of help to work out where you want to be and/ or what you want to do, or if you are struggling to cope with stuff at the moment, My Plan can give you the 1:1 space with a Youth Worker, to support you to do that.
What can I expect from My Plan?
- Confidentiality and privacy
- To be believed and trusted
- An opportunity to express thoughts and feelings
- Being listened to and respected
- Support to cope with your feelings
- Support can be around both practical and emotional issues.
What can I talk about in My Plan?
Anything that you feel stuck with. Anything you feel you need help and support with. This could be stuff at home, school or work. It may be to do with family, friends or just a way you’re feeling. You may want support with confidence and self-esteem. It could be all of the above. We don’t work miracles but we do offer good support to help you work out what is going on for you, and to help you improve your life.
How private is My Plan?
What you share in My Plan is treated with respect and is confidential. The Market Place takes confidentiality very seriously and this will be explained to you more fully when you first come.
