Prisons
GYM's work at prisions
Guiding Young Minds engages in direct one-to-one work within prison settings, supporting young people to reflect on their lives, preparing
them for the future and motivating them towards different behaviour following release. We continue to support them after release if appropriate.
GYM Programmes
GYM have put together comprehensive programmes which our Teams deliver to groups of prisoners:
The Hustle Programme
The Hustle
The Hustle is a two-week programme aimed at prisoners who have turned what could have been a gift into a tool for harming others, ending
them with a jail sentence. The programme is designed to increase awareness, so that young people can use their gifts and talents for positive
means rather than to cause harm.
The Journey Out Programme
The Journey Out Programme
The Journey Out is a 12–14-week course covering the following:
- Violence related trauma and its outworking (therapist led)
- Understanding and tacking impulsive behaviour and angry outbursts
- Making the right choices
- Not breaking under peer pressure.
