Homebuilders - Unravelling the teenage brainBy: Liz Griffiths
Homebuilders had the pleasure of hosting a presentation day in partnership with Brainwave Trust at the end of March. The day was a roaring success, and we welcomed over 40 individuals and families into our space on the day. The feedback has been positive, with one person saying she wished it could have been longer.
The second half of the day was devoted to “Unravelling the Teenage Brain”. In essence, it looked at the adolescent and how this period in their life (from puberty to the mid 20s) unfolds and plays out for them while relating it to their current brain development. The information shared was steeped in research. The hope was to provide parents and caregivers the tools to work out and support their teen through what can (but not always) be a challenging time.
Pembrokeshire County Council Services providing support for young people in Pembrokeshire have been awarded with yet another Silver Quality Mark. The award, jointly administered on behalf of Welsh Government by the Education Workforce Council and Education Training Standards Cymru, recognises the team’s high quality provision for young people, as they aim to emulate the Gold Quality Mark attained in 2018. Pembrokeshire County Council offer workshops, holiday programmes, educational support and more for 11-25 year olds, through their Youth Service team. James White, Pembrokeshire County Council’s Deputy Chief Education Officer, said: “Three years ago, we were only the second local authority youth service in Wales to achieve the Gold Quality Mark for youth work.”
