Inclusive Support
All of our amazing projects at The Mix are supported by our SEN Youth Worker, Anna.
This includes inclusion training, adapting resources, building support networks in the community, and creating bespoke approaches to working with young people with different needs.
Meet and Greet
Come and meet Anna for a chat and a relaxed tour of the spaces when the building is sensory-friendly. Plus meet some of the team and our programmes.
Inclusive Spaces
The Mix building hosts lots of amazing programmes; we aim to adapt our spaces to be accessible and sensory-friendly for all people.
We have developed a photographic visual tour of the building as an introduction to the space.
At our Open Access Drop Ins we run a chill-out space, which is quieter and has lots of creative activities.
Supporting Young People at The Mix
We support young people with diverse needs to develop their self-esteem and build confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.
Mentoring is a stepping stone for young people with additional needs to be supported through challenges, such as social anxiety or isolation, and to support them to access social groups and build friendships at The Mix and beyond.
Expression
Expression is our Art course. Each week we support young people by looking at different ways they can use art to explore themselves, their skills, and their future goals and dreams.
This includes exploring values, finding out about strengths, and building communication skills.
Symmetra
Symmetra is a fun and activity-based course exploring neurodiversity and social anxiety.
Over 7 weeks, Symmetra seeks to support young people in growing their self-understanding, confidence, and emotional intelligence.
ND Diadem
ND Diadem is an inclusive 6 week long programme designed for young women who identify as neurodiverse.
The sessions are designed to explore activities and open discussion around identity, healthy friendships, with a focus on building self esteem and understanding healthy boundaries.
Courses run for different age groups throughout the year.
