Boys and Young Men
The BYM project exists to meet the needs of boys and young men aged 11-19 in Hull and the surrounding areas. The interventions they project can deliver are as follows:
Support for LGBT+ young people on a 1-1 basis as well as in Step Out (our LGBT+ youth group). Can also provide support to schools to set up their own groups.
Break The Cycle- It is the aim of the Break the Cycle project to offer tailored 1-1 support to males aged 11-16 at an early intervention stage that will prevent behaviours from escalating and becoming more serious. The support will “nudge” these males back on to a healthier path by delivering weekly sessions with no fixed end date. The project is not for young people who are currently witnessing domestic abuse at home. If this is the case please treat it as a safeguarding issue and deal with it appropriately.
Support for low level sexual offences e.g. inappropriate touching, sending and receiving images etc.
Emotional Control sessions within school. Groups of around 5 BYM who have been highlighted by the school as being unable to control their emotions, normally displaying quite aggressive behaviour within school. This project aims to help these young people express their emotions in a healthier way by learning to spot the early triggers and giving techniques to help control emotions better.
Supporting young males aged 11-19 with learning disabilities around Relationships and sexual behaviour

Peer Mentoring (HeadStart Hull)
The project offers one to one support and befriending to young people aged 10-16 within schools and the community. Young people are invited to apply for the role of peer mentor, they are then selected and trained to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to support young people identified as having emotional health needs. These could be due to a number of factors including stress of exams, bullying, isolation, and/or family issues.
The mentee will receive:
Regular support from a positive role model close to their own age
Support with issues which impact upon personal growth and development
Help with identifying goals
Help with action planning and problem solving
Peer mentors will not make decisions for the mentees; however, they will suggest options, identify consequences and/or share their experiences.
The peer mentors will support with individual issues and give young people the opportunity to discuss any worries they have.
Each mentor will work in partnership with the young people’s peer mentoring project worker and will receive regular support via group and one to one supervision.
If you would like any further information or to discuss a referral, please email Estelle Parker estelleosborne@outlook.com or call 01482 326513
