The core focus of the⚡ZAP workshop is to teach young people how to be #assertive, a proven technique for preventing and tackling bullying situations.
.
Other workshop objectives are to raise #confidence and self-esteem, achieved through the use of positive reinforcement throughout the session, and interaction with the other young people they meet, enabling them to realise that they are not alone in their experiences...and that they are not to blame.
.
The success of this approach is shown in the positive outcomes of the ⚡ZAP workshop, and the fantastic feedback they receive from the families who attend.
.
98% feel more able to be assertive
96% of young people feel more confident
96% of young people report improvements in mental health
