The Positive Youth Education (PYE) Project aims to challenge the thought processes, beliefs and attitudes towards offending, deviant or risk taking behaviour in order to enable positive attitudinal and behavioural changes.

Adopting a life course approach our work identifies and targets individual’s risk factors, both static and dynamic. Through one to one, group work and community engagement we are able support the development of protective factors in the lives of vulnerable young people.

Our services are accessible to all young people. We currently work in:

• Schools
  
• Youth Centres
  
• Custody
  
• Pupil Referral Units
  
• Youth Offending and Probation establishments
