In the Community
Together, we make change happen
True progress is made with everyone involved
We believe mental health thrives when our community comes together. That’s why we offer courses for workplaces and local groups, alongside workshops and guidance for parents, carers, and teachers. Our aim is simple: to share knowledge, build confidence, and create a community where everyone feels supported and equipped to make a difference.
Parents, Carers & Teachers
Supporting children with their mental health can feel overwhelming at times, and we know the pressure often falls on parents, carers, and teachers.
Our drop in sessions and resources are designed to make that journey easier. They complement what children learn in our school sessions, offering practical tools, guidance, and reassurance to the adults around them. By building knowledge and confidence, we help parents, carers, and teachers feel supported too — so together we can create consistent, positive environments for young people to thrive.
Enable Potential
We understand that getting into work, training, or even figuring out what’s next can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to lose confidence or feel unsure of where to start. That’s exactly why Isle Listen have created Enable Potential, to help people with their journey into the workplace.
Commissioned by The Treasury, Enable Potential delivered a six-month pilot programme “Making Work Worthwhile” designed to support 18–30 year olds who had been receiving benefits for 6 months or more, in taking the next step with the right guidance.
The programme brought together coaching, therapy, and practical training to help people build confidence, develop new skills, and explore opportunities at their own pace. Individuals worked with a personal coach to set achievable goals, such as getting into work, starting an apprenticeship, or returning to education.
Coming Soon: Mellow Parenting Programme
This programme will offer a safe, welcoming space for expectant parents to talk, connect, and build confidence during pregnancy, focussing on strengthening skills that promote self-care, fight isolation and develop their parenting toolkit.
Our incredible team of volunteers, trained by Mellow Parenting, will help strengthen local communities and ensure expectant parents feel supported, understood, and empowered at a crucial time in their lives, which in turn creates stronger and more supportive relationships for children as they grow.
More information coming soon.
Mental Health Education
From curious five-year-olds in the classroom to leaders in the boardroom, our Education Team delivers mental health learning for every stage of life. In schools, we focus on early understanding — helping young people to recognise feelings and build healthy coping tools. Beyond the classroom, we offer practical training that deepens knowledge, tackles stigma, and equips people to support wellbeing in their communities and workplaces.
Events
Throughout the year we host lots of events that our amazing community can get involved in, from sporting challenges to dinners and insightful talks, we hope there’s something for everyone. If you’d like to plan your own event in aid of Isle Listen, please let us know more about it by emailing fundraising@islelisten.im
