IYPP PROJECT
7. Summary of Achievements
7.1 Numbers of Families Provided with Services
During the course of the IYPP Project, the Kinara Centre worked with a total of 26 parents, only one of whom was male. We worked with 25 young people, 14 boys and 11 girls.
7.2 Other Achievements
In terms of outcomes for young people we felt that the FST programme offered the following opportunities to:
- Develop a greater sense of attachment with caregivers as the programme promotes positive time and interactions
- Gain enhanced communication with caregivers and siblings
- Develop confidence and self-esteem. The programme promotes aspirations and ambition for young people
- Take away tangible tools i.e. Family trees, Family meetings, Treasure maps etc
- Improve school attendance
- Reduce Anti-social behaviour (during the life of the group)
- Develop self care skills (a young person was refusing to put any medicated cream on for their eczema, this changed during the life of the group)
- Share their knowledge, skills and strengths with others
- Act as role models and benefit from role models
- Disclose sexual abuse
