GRYS Support Service
It’s in the name – GET REAL!
SUPPORT WE PROVIDE
PARENTS
When dealing with the youth of today the support given to parents/guardians is just as important as that to the young person. Sticking with the holistic approach, GRYS offers the necessary support and guidance parents/guardians need to assist in raising our community’s young people. This may come in the form of mediation with the young person, signposting them to other support services ie: counselling, or even just an ear to hear, we come alongside and work in partnership with parents/guardians to bring about total restoration of the family dynamic within the home
ORGANISATIONS
GRYS works with the public sector, YOTS/probation, Schools, social services. We understand the crucial role these services play within a young person’s life, so it is essential we partner with these organisations and local authorities to collaborate and bolster the support a young person and their family receives within the local community. Offering bespoke packages that cater to each governing bodies needs.
Young people
At GRYS, through our 12-week mentoring programme, we instil in our young people a mindset to hope again. For many they don’t believe that moving forward and progressing in a career and or further education is possible. Working alongside various organisations, we have created a system that offers young people tangible options in further education and or employment either during or at completion of the mentoring intervention.
What People Are Saying
“We work in a very busy secondary school and when GRYS are on site, they’re flexible, pro active and respond to demands of school life. GRYS can read a situation and sense whether to hold sessions in a meeting room or on a basketball court. GRYS visit our students in lessons showing them they care and in doing so, have also gained the trust of our pastoral team. GRYS are professionals, reliable and organised. GRYS have gone above and beyond with some students who very quickly look up to them. Quite simply, they care; and by caring, they provide hope”
— Mrs Yates, Vice Principal, Bower Park Academy
