Question 1

What do you actually do in the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Each session is a mix of chat, activities, and stories from others who’ve been through similar things. You’ll learn about topics like communication, handling emotions, managing conflict, dealing with change, setting boundaries and looking to the future.

Question 2

Do I have to talk about my family or what happened with my parents?

Accepted Answer

No. The workshops are all about you and your life, not your parents or their relationship. We won’t ask you to share personal details unless you want to. Your Direction is not about reviewing or judging your parents separation — ever. We don’t ask for family history, and we don’t take sides.

Question 3

Does Your Direction help?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most people feel a lot better by the end of the course. We monitor its effectiveness using the Warwick-Edinburgh Scale (WEMWBS). On average, young people’s wellbeing scores jump from 5.1 to 8.1 after the course. Those who start off struggling the most often see the biggest improvement.

Question 4

Will my parent(s) find out what I say in the sessions?

Accepted Answer

No. What’s said in the workshop stays there. We don’t report back to your parents or share anything you say. If you say something that made us fear for your safety, then we would follow a safeguarding process to ensure you are ok, but otherwise no-one outside the workshop hears what you say.

Question 5

Can my parent come with me?

Accepted Answer

No. To help you and the others in the session feel comfortable, they are just for young people. We want all the participants to have the chance to speak freely about any topic you want to talk about.

Question 6

Where do I get the login information for the calls?

Accepted Answer

We will send you an email just before each session so the details are at the top of your inbox.
