These tools are designed to help you to learn about yourself, to grow and maintain your hope, and to move closer towards live the sort of life that feels meaningful to you.

The crucial role of mentors

Young people and those that support them told us that packages like HOPEFUL work better if young people have some support to use them. HOPEFUL is supported by a mentor that is selected by the young person themselves, someone they know and trust. Mentors have training and guidance to help them to support young people to work through HOPEFUL. Currently, mentors are supporting young women to work through HOPEFUL in The Looking Forward Project.
