February and March are an exciting time for us at the hub and we have a few programmes coming up!

Counselling Service

We are offering 1:1 counselling through Mind in Mid Herts for 11-17 year olds in Stevenage. We are accepting referrals for this now.

Dance Programme

Starting this week (Wednesday 24^th and Thursday 25^th) we are beginning our dance programme consisting of online pre-recorded videos teaching a variety of dance routines. We have two separate sessions each week, one for young children (pre-school) and families (Disco Duck) and one for young people (11-16 years old with Dance-Beat).

Fighting Fear Course

This 4 week course, delivered online through Hertfordshire Mind Network starts on March 1^st and runs every Monday from 4:30-6pm. It will look at ways people may try to cope with feelings of anxiety such as avoidance and procrastination and explore ways to manage anxiety more effectively. This may be a great course for young people anxious about the reopening of schools.

Wise About Food

Our healthy cooking programme with Sarah will talk about having a cupboard of food staples and how these can be used to make quick meals as well as how to save money by saving food. The course is online and provides the opportunity for young people and families to cook along. This course is 5 weeks and begins on 18^th March.

Active Lifestyles Programme

We have our programme with Fit Kidz offering bootcamp style sessions with functional gym equipment. The start date is dependent on government restrictions, and hope that a set date can be finalised now we have the proposed roadmap from the government. In the meantime, we are accepting sign-ups for these sessions so we are ready to go when safe to do so.

As always, these courses through the hub are completely FREE. Young people can sign up by contacting the hub directly 07810154851, YPHealthyHub@stevenage.gov.uk, or completing a referral.
