Krunch mentoring content will include (depending on referral information, content will be tailored appropriately for the individual):

• A solution focussed and trauma informed approach with the young person’s voice central to the work
• Mentees will assess their current life situation using Outcome Star at the beginning and end of intervention. Outcome Stars incorporate goal
setting and action planning
• A pre and post Emotional Health and Wellbeing questionnaire which screens for areas of concern and risk around mental health
• Therapeutic talking space (advice, guidance and education) about relevant issues which are currently affecting the young person emotionally and
socially

making, psychoeducation, resilience building and improving emotional literacy

• Supporting pupils to have open and honest discussion around issues such as: Self Esteem and confidence, Healthy Peer Relationships – Power
and Control, increasing self-awareness of own identity and culture/ seek positive relatable role models and developing empathy
