SB Mentoring

Thrive Support

Some students require further intervention to support their individual needs. Our trained thrive practitioner will work with these children through individual or group sessions, to ensure a safe space for growth.

Some of the difficulties these children may have include:

  • Difficulties with friendships
  • Finding it hard to settle into the classroom routine/structure.
  • Finding it difficult to manage their strong feelings.
  • Not knowing who to turn to when feelings are too big to manage independently.

    These situations can lead to many feelings, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. They might include: anger, frustration, sadness, loneliness, confusion, or anxiety. All these feelings are very normal and are felt by many students.

Skills, Support, and Seasonal Spirit at SB Mentoring

This week, we had the pleasure of visiting SB Mentoring to discuss the Young Carers in Schools Award and explore their incredible provision for young people across Wiltshire. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and given a tour of their inspiring setting.
What truly stood out was the creativity and dedication on display. We were amazed by the festive projects they had produced for Christmas—each piece showcasing remarkable skills and talent. It was a wonderful reminder of the positive impact that supportive environments like SB Mentoring can have on young people, helping them thrive and express themselves.
We look forward to a potential collaboration in the future!
