London
The Lemonade Project is an initiative of Shared Health Foundation with the aim
of building resilience in young people who are experiencing low levels of
emotional wellbeing. It is part of Shared Health Foundation’s wider strategy to
improve mental health support for adolescents across Greater Manchester. Our
resources and training are perfect to help schools meet new PSHE requirements.
Project Overview The Lemonade Project consists of three strands: The Lemonade
Resource Book: A range of interactive, engaging activities designed to be used
by small groups of young people. It covers six main chapters addressing many of
the issues in the ‘Resilience Framework’, for example emotional literacy, self
esteem and identity, and dealing with challenge The Tough Times Toolkit: A
conversation aid which consists of suggested questions and prompts which can
help get to the root of any problems a young person might be experiencing, as
well as an informal risk assessment. It also includes ideas for strategies that
an adult may want to suggest to a young person to try and help them manage
strong emotions. The Life and Lemons Journal: An interactive resilience journal
for young people. We believe that the best way this journal can be used is to
allow the young person to take it way, use in their own time, and then meet back
to discuss any issues that it might have raised in a safe space with a
parent/teacher or trusted adult.
