Welcome to Project Health Resilience or PHR!
We are a group of NHS health professionals. We have designed 4 one-hour workshops to help you make informed decisions about your own physical & mental health and how to get help if needed. We will come into your school or youth-setting to talk about:
o Access to Healthcare
The aim of this one hour session is to improve general health literacy and awareness about different healthcare services and how to access them. Delivered by health professionals, the sessions are interactive and include scenario practice.
o Medical Emergencies
The aim of this session is to improve health literacy around basic first aid and approach to the unwell individual. This one hour workshop will be delivered by health professionals, outlining common emergency medical presentations including the collapsed individual, bleeding, tooth avulsion and burns management.
o Mental Health Resilience
This one hour interactive workshop will be delivered by health professionals covering concepts & practice of mental health resilience, and when help should be sought.
o Preventative Health
The aim of this one hour session, delivered by health professionals is to give you an understanding of the importance of preventative health. This includes protected time for discussion in safe space to ask questions and discuss concerns.
Why should it matter to you as a young person?
The NHS England ‘Our Voice, Our Care’ campaign highlights that young people can feel a lack of control of their health care, not always listened to, and that health guidance can feel too generalised. We want to help change that and help empower you as young Londoners in your healthcare.
The Project Health Resilience workshops have been co-produced by young people and for young people! The workshops aim to provide a safe space to talk about your health and ask questions. They are an opportunity to tap into the issues which matter to you! We look forward to seeing you in the workshops!
