Dominion Care’s Young Minds Resilience Program aims to empower young people in the community by promoting mental health, emotional well-being, and resilience. The program is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate life’s challenges, build healthy relationships, and foster a sense of belonging. Below are the key approaches and steps that Dominio Care implements to ensure the success of the Young Minds Resilience Program.
Holistic Development: The program focuses on the overall development of young people, addressing not just mental health but also social, emotional, and physical well-being.
Community Engagement: By involving community members, local organizations, and families, the program fosters a supportive environment for participants. Community engagement helps in building trust and ensures that the program is relevant to the needs of the local youth.
Trauma-Informed Care: The program recognizes the impact of trauma on young people and incorporates trauma-informed practices. This approach ensures that all interactions and activities are sensitive to the experiences of participants.
Strength-Based Perspective: The program emphasizes the strengths and potential of each young person, encouraging them to leverage their unique abilities and resources to overcome challenges.
Collaborative Learning: Participants are encouraged to learn from one another through group activities and discussions. This peer learning aspect promotes camaraderie and reduces feelings of isolation.
Needs Assessment: Conducting surveys and focus groups within the community to identify the specific needs and challenges faced by young people. This assessment helps tailor the program to address the most pressing issues.
Program Design: Developing a structured curriculum that includes workshops, group activities, and individual sessions focusing on resilience, coping strategies, and emotional regulation.
Training Facilitators: Recruiting and training skilled facilitators who are knowledgeable in mental health, youth development, and trauma-informed care. This ensures that all sessions are led by qualified professionals.
Implementation of Workshops: Offering regular workshops that cover topics such as stress management, communication skills, conflict resolution, and self-care strategies. These workshops provide participants with practical tools they can apply in their daily lives.
Mentorship Opportunities: Pairing participants with mentors from the community who can provide guidance, support, and encouragement. This mentorship helps foster positive relationships and a sense of belonging.
Evaluation and Feedback: Continuously evaluating the program’s effectiveness through participant feedback, assessments, and outcome measurements. This data is used to refine the program and ensure it meets the evolving needs of the community.
Community Events: Organizing community events that promote mental health awareness and celebrate the achievements of participants. These events serve to destigmatize mental health issues and create a supportive community culture.
Follow-Up Support: Providing ongoing support through check-ins, follow-up sessions, and additional resources. This ensures that participants continue to feel supported even after the program concludes.
Resource Development: Creating and distributing materials such as brochures, online resources, and toolkits that participants and their families can use to further enhance their resilience skills at home.
