Positive Active Minds (PAM)
Positive Active Minds (PAM) is our user-led, flagship programme offering early intervention, low-level mental health support. The programme includes creative workshops, a peer support network, family drop-in sessions and peer mentor training. PAM aims to empower people to better support themselves and each other by sharing experiences, forming positive relationships, relaxing, socialising, and learning new skills in a safe and supportive environment. This approach contributes to improving participants' confidence, resilience, well-being and mental health.
NEW FOR 2025 - Starting on the 8thSeptember, all activities under the Positive Active Minds programme (PAM) will now be available to access through a new membership scheme. This is to ensure our programmes can continue to run and we can provide the best possible experiences for our attendees. Details of which can be found here - If you'd like to join the scheme, please fill out the following form by clicking this link.
These sessions support families to explore ways of improving their mental health, share coping strategies, discuss triggers and other challenges with peers. It also offers opportunities to learn new skills which in turn, improve, self-esteem and levels of confidence and resilience in turn, reducing anxiety and raising aspirations.
Our Peer Mentors are people who work alongside participants in a voluntary capacity. Some will have gone through their own experiences and want to offer their support. Others may be training in counselling, psychology or other similar disciplines and can offer their knowledge and skills.
In both cases, the programme offers volunteers, learning and training opportunities and certificates. For more details on this programme, please get in touch.

Climb 4 always made me feel fully supported and valued, which in turn provided me with a sense of belonging, increasing my self-esteem, confidence and general wellbeing. Therefore, the new PAM project will be a wonderful and rewarding opportunity for volunteers and participants to join and grow with, as I did, with Climb 4.
