Power2 Rediscover

Our Power2 Rediscover programme was developed as a direct response to the COVID-19 crisis and conversations we've had with young people, teachers, youth workers and carers about the impact the crisis has already had and will have in the future.

We recently released the first external impact report into Power2 Rediscover - click here to read more.


The NeedPower2 Rediscover logo

Too many young people were already facing an opportunity gap. The impact of COVID-19 could turn that gap into a chasm.

The National Youth Agency estimates the 1 million+ with known mental health needs has increased to 2 million+ with emerging needs triggered by the pandemic. NHS Digital reports 1 in 6 now experience a probable mental health disorder, up from 1 in 9 in 2017. The levels of poor mental health only increase in families where parents or carers fall behind on bills and other expenses. 

In other words, the pandemic has made already vulnerable young people even more vulnerable and left them more in need of extra support than ever before.

“Everyone’s really stressing about their future. Lockdown might have been a good thing for some people but when it came to our school, our education, that’s gone downhill for us... it’s hard being motivated because being trapped in your house just makes you feel like you’re alone... I had nothing else do so I felt like if I stayed in my room any longer I’d go through depression and stuff like that."

Ashanti, 17


The Programme

Power2 Rediscover provides intensive one-to-one support to young people aged 11-18 who are struggling with wellbeing and school engagement, recognising that the pandemic has exacerbated these issues for the most vulnerable young people.

Young people who take part in the programme receive ten 1:1 sessions, delivered by one of our trained facilitators, and can then join Power2’s Young Leaders programme, meaning they have access to up to three years of support and connection.

Our dedicated programme facilitators work with young people who are most at risk of falling behind to improve their mental health and wellbeing and school attendance. These young people are empowered to make positive transitions with a roadmap and the tools to engage productively with their education, goals and society in the future.

Sessions include conversations and practical tools to help young people with:

  • Mental health and wellbeing including helping participants develop positive routines, healthy habits and sleeping patterns.
  • Tackling feelings of loneliness and isolation by making sure young people know there is someone out there for them during lockdown and beyond.
  • Practical and emotional support for engaging with school and learning
  • Planning for the future by setting goals and aspirations for both the long and short term and, crucially, providing young people with the tools they need to actively work towards them
  • Earning a certificate of achievement on completion of the programme.

Our outcomes speak for themselves:

An illustrated case study created by Power2 Rediscover facilitators:


"Every child told me after the session how useful it was and how they really feel it will benefit them. There were a few who were extremely apprehensive about these sessions so to get them all on board so quickly is brilliant."
 
Pastoral Lead, Oasis Academy Oldham

 
"I liked how we discussed the work together before writing it down. I realise I have the ability to talk to someone without knowing them."

"I am happy to have one to one discussions because I need them in this moment in time. I am pleased the school has offered something this helpful for us. I think it will help my concentration, so I’m going to make the most of it."

 
Power2 Rediscover Participants

Power2 believes there is no greater cost to society than unfulfilled potential. Our support makes a real and lasting difference, giving young people the power to build a better future.
