Specialist frontline youth workers working across the capital’s children’s services are now delivering CBT interventions aimed at helping young people manage challenges in their lives including involvement in gangs and violent crime.
The Your Choice programme is delivered by London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and funded by a £10m grant from the Home Office and the Youth Endowment Fund.
The three year programme offers intensive, therapeutic support for young people aged 11 to 17 who are at most risk of being affected by violence or exploitation.
The scheme will be managed by London boroughs through the London Innovation and Improvement Alliance (LIIA) on behalf of the Association of London Directors of Children’s Services.
