Say It With Your Chest is a not-for-profit that operates across the United Kingdom. Our vision is to create a world where young people are supported to thrive, realise their potential and build a better future for themselves. This vision is at the core of all of our work.
OUR AIMS
the rate of exclusions in schools by decreasing persistent disruptive behaviour.
young people to raise their aspirations and break their negative behaviour cycles.
and influence public and policy awareness.
OUR APPROACH
- ask ourselves in every interaction what a young person is trying to communicate through their behaviour
- empower rather than rescue the young people that we work with
- encourage young people to take ownership of their future, their choices and the person that they want to be
- take into consideration the individual needs of young people
- actively encourage young people to use their voice in a positive way
- find out how young people feel about their lives rather than assume that we know the answer
