After an extensive build up with @OasisRestore & @CNWLNHS, we ran our first HJ during Oct half term!
Following group workshops & 1:1 coaching sessions, the children told us the programme was "profound" & "they really enjoyed it."
We're looking forward to the next group in Feb 👏
We're so pleased that the positive messages shared by our storytellers' in our recent Black Hero's Journey report can now begin to reach those inside prison too; thank you @InsideTimeUK.
We're determined to share more of our impact and spark with people in prison - watch this space! 👀📻🎙️

Our conversations centred on how to repurpose these systems and disciplines to help me thrive in a different environment."

Our latest report on Black Hero's Journey, written by @dr_n_dera, highlights the positive impacts of a culturally sensitive, life-coaching programme on the lives of young Black men in custody.
Dr. Dera's visual thematic map summarises the essential aspects of the storytellers' lives in prison and engaging with Black Hero's Journey. It helps us understand the different facets of the young Black men's experiences and personal reflections, which often go unheard.

A really important report and contribution to the sector from our friends at @Spark_Inside →
A new report into our Black Hero's Journey found that it creates a safe space for participants to overcome self-limiting beliefs & narratives.
The storytellers featured now recognise that, despite the challenges they face, they hold immense value: sparkinside.org/news/black-h…
