Description: Khulisa delivers social and emotional programmes in schools, prisons and communities, helping young people to thrive.
We exist to support excluded or marginalised young people whose behaviour is deemed challenging or antisocial, and the professionals, peers and carers who support them.
We recognise that improving a young person’s social and emotional skills will only go so far in improving their life outcomes. To create meaningful and lasting change, we need to also ensure that all young people are cared for by adults who are trauma-informed and systems that are responsive to their social and emotional needs.
Khulisa works with young people in schools, prisons and in the community. We deliver intensive, therapeutic group programmes for young people to explore the root causes of their emotional distress. We also train professionals, parents and carers in how to create nurturing, trauma-informed environments for young people. We place wellbeing at the heart of rehabilitation; we provide intensive therapeutic support to help young people build self-awareness and emotional resilience.
