MyWay – Supporting Young People Across North Devon and Torridge
Encompass Southwest, in partnership with Young Devon, Space, and Kooth, is proud to launch an exciting new project: MyWay.

What is MyWay?
MyWay is a new youth project designed to boost wellbeing, resilience, and recovery among children and young people aged between 11- 17 years, by providing early, easy access to exciting youth groups and experiences and 1-1 on-line support.

What We Offer
As part of this partnership, Encompass Southwest runs monthly youth groups for young people aged 11–17 years, which are free to attend. These sessions create a safe, welcoming space where participants can enjoy a variety of activities that change each month, from creative workshops and practical skills to fun, interactive sessions and outdoor adventures.
Each group is designed to help you:
- Build confidence and resilience
- Improve mental health and emotional wellbeing
- Make positive connections with others
- Access support in a friendly, informal environment
You may also just want to reach out to our experienced youth workers to talk about the things going on in your life which maybe impacting your mental health and wellbeing.

Why It Matters
By working together, our organisations aim to give you the opportunities to explore new experiences, develop coping strategies, and find support in ways that feel engaging and relevant to you.
We’re also keen to collaborate with other organisations to offer exciting, varied events, giving young people more choices and opportunities each month.
