OTR’s Nature Works in Kingswood Park project is a OTR’s Nature Works in Kingswood Park project is a chance for young people aged 12-16 to spend some time outdoors, meet other young people, and try out nature-based crafts and activities to support their wellbeing. 🌍

Facilitated by Nicky and Emily from OTR, each week there will be new things to try. All activities are optional and it’s fine to simply come along to chill and chat. We will be cooking on the campfire when weather permits, and there will be cold drinks and snacks available whatever the weather! ☀️

More information and sign-ups at Nature Works in Kingswood Park - OTR or find out more by the following the link in our bio 🦋

*The project is not on during half term (Tuesday 26th May) but will be back on Tuesday 2nd June and then every Tuesday until the end of July. *

Feeling low, worried, or overwhelmed? Like a compu Feeling low, worried, or overwhelmed? Like a computer with too many tabs open? Don’t worry, you’re not “broken”! You might just need a quick reboot. 💻✨

LI-CBT (Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is available for young people across North Somerset, with appointments online or in Backwell, Clevedon, and Worle.

You don’t need to be in crisis to get support. If anxiety or low mood is having a mild to moderate impact on your life, LI-CBT can help.

Work one-to-one with a Wellbeing Practitioner who will teach you practical tools and techniques to:
✨ Manage anxiety and stress
✨ Improve your mood
✨ Build confidence
✨ Reach your personal goals

Think of it as updating your mental software with tools that actually help.

Small changes can make a big difference. Sign up today and take the first step towards feeling better.

Confidentiality Statement

Anything you talk about with one of our team is kept totally private within OTR. We won’t share what you tell us with anyone else. But if there was an extreme situation, like if you or someone else was at risk of being seriously hurt, then we would need to break confidentiality to keep you safe.

If this happened we would discuss it with you first and do our best to make sure you were involved in any decisions that have to be made. We know this can be scary and you might not want us to share anything, but we will support you through the whole thing.
