The Benefits The Life Coach Brings
Our passion here at The Life Coach is making a huge impact in the lives of young people and their families throughout Gloucestershire.
The Life Coach is the charitable arm of Chance Is Change, with our awesome coach, travelling to locations in and around Gloucestershire, where young people can book in with our friendly and qualified team to discuss issues such as mental health, anxiety and depression.
The coach is fitted out to be a comfortable, safe and private environment where children and young people can relax and discuss any issues they may have safe in a comfortable and safe space.
This service is free of charge for the young people and is funded by donations and when possible grants and local authority funding, which has now got more difficult to obtain.
Studies show that in a classroom of 30 children, 5 of them are likely to have a mental health struggles. That’s how big the issue is.
Our objective is to reduce this figure in Gloucestershire, one child at a time.
Did you know…
1 in 6 children between the ages of 5-16 are likely to have a mental health struggle
50% of all mental health struggless start by the age of 14.
39% of 6-16 year olds have experienced deterioration in mental health since 2017.
17 to 22 year old women are the group most at risk of developing a mental health struggle.
52% of 17 to 23 year olds have experienced deterioration in mental health in the last five years
55% of 16-25 year olds have seen a GP about mental health at some point in their lives.
34% of those referred into NHS services do not get accepted into treatment.
This is why we offer our services supporting young people with mental health struggles, with the aim of delivering early support. We want young people to get the help they need before it becomes a mental health crisis.
