Identity

Personal Expression:

• At Mayar Care, we understand that not everyone expresses themselves through words, people have different/ creative ways of doing this

• We provide opportunities for creative self-expression, such as art, music, drama, and writing

• This allows young individuals to explore and communicate their thoughts, feelings, and identity in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Cultural and Diversity Awareness:

• We celebrate diversity and foster an inclusive environment where different cultural backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives are respected and valued. 

• Through educational programs, cultural events, and exposure to diverse experiences, we encourage young individuals to develop an appreciation for their own heritage and the richness of others' identities.

• We facilitate the celebration of our young persons' heritage, background and beliefs e.g. through celebrating religious festivals and movements the young person is involved in

LGBTQ+ Support:

• We offer a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ young individuals, providing specialized support, resources, and education on LGBTQ+ identities and issues. 

• Our goal is to foster acceptance, understanding, and support for their unique journeys.

Social Connections

• Being removed from their family, friends, and the area they grew up in, young people may experience loneliness 

• At Mayar Care we make strong efforts to help get our young person build social connections

• We do this by involving our young person in extra-curricular activities e.g. gymnasium, sports clubs, after-school programmes and more.
