Mary's Annual Report 2022 - Flipbook - Page 9
Since Mary’s inception we have responded to the needs of young
people at a point of crisis and our practical outlook and help are
the bedrock of why our interventions in young people’s safety and
education are effective.
Who refers a young person to Mary’s?
Young people are referred to us from schools, pupil referral units,
safeguarding agencies, and through our work out on the streets.
The Core Program
Mary’s Core Program has three parts. The first is called Keeping
Young People Safe and intervenes where there is a risk of violence or
harm to the young person.
The second part of the program is one to one mentoring or
counselling for a young person. We call this part of the program
Building Emotional Skills.
The third part of the program is building the skills, knowledge and
behaviour for a young person to be able to learn or gain employment.
We call this element Education and Life Skills.
A young person leaves the Core Program when sustainable
outcomes have been achieved for attendance in education, risk of
involvement in criminal activity, and not engaging in violence.
The Centre For Youth Impact assists and accredits youth
organisations in the collection of evidence. Mary’s has achieved its
certification for evidence.
