TravellersTM is a school based targeted small group programme for young people in their first year of secondary school who have identified themselves as facing tough times. They may have experienced one or a number of the following:
- Frequent school change
- Low self-esteem
- Stressful life-changing events
- Moderate to high emotional distress.
How are students selected for Travellers?
All students in year 9 take part in a short online questionairre which identifies the students' life experiences and vulnerability level. The Questionairre uses the Subjective Experience of Distress Scale based on a short form of the Weinburger Adjustment Inventory. Schools recieve the Questionairre information and are able to select students they would like to have take part in the Programme.
