Ryan’s Story
‘I want to kill myself.
I don’t like being alive. The only thing I want to achieve after working with you is to stop having these thoughts.’
Name changed for confidentiality.
This statement was disclosed during an initial coaching session with an 11-year-old student who we continue to work with and support.
He has since joined a boxing club, is part of the Samba drumming troop that we have organised to visit one of our schools, and has spoken to his mum about how he is feeling. He has also been to the doctors and is on a waiting list for counselling.
Ryan received extra support from Rise and shared the following after 15 coaching sessions.
‘Coaching has helped me to think more positively about myself. It has made me feel confident and more like I can speak up’
Unfortunately, Ryan isn’t the only child experiences these feelings. The issue of mental health in young people is now a health crisis, with unprecedented numbers of children affected.
