Our Work

Helping young people navigate growing up.

We work with young people, schools and families to build resilience, strengthen emotional skills and create spaces where difficult things can be talked about before they become overwhelming.

Where We Work

Support works best when it is part of everyday life.

That is why our work does not sit in one room or one programme. We work directly with young people, alongside schools, and with the adults who care for them.

Young People

Tools for the years when life can feel hardest to understand.

Our youth work focuses on helping young people understand what is happening within them, regulate stress and emotion, build resilience, and develop practical ways of navigating relationships, pressure, failure and uncertainty.

Resilient Compass

80+ young people

A structured programme that helps young people build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, self-awareness and resilience through stories, discussion, practical tools and everyday application.

“Earlier, I would react immediately when I was angry. Now I’m able to pause, reflect and manage my reactions better.”— Resilient Compass participant

Brewed Fridays

100+ young people reached

Informal conversations about growing up, relationships, loneliness, pressure, identity, family and life — without lectures and without judgement.

A space to pause, listen, talk and realise that difficult thoughts and feelings do not have to be carried alone.

One-to-One Support

Sometimes a young person simply needs someone to talk to.

100+ young people have received free one-to-one counselling and emotional support through Acrophile Foundation.

We keep this work private, respectful and centred on what the young person is actually experiencing.

Residencies & Deeper Experiences

North of Noise

Sometimes young people need more than a conversation — they need space away from the noise of everyday life.

Our residency experiences combine reflection, group activity, conversation, creativity and time away from routine to help young people reconnect with themselves and with others.

35 students participated in our Landour residency.

Coming November 2026

Elaris Life

A new digital space designed to help young people build emotional strength, resilience and practical life skills — one small step at a time.

Short, practical sessions will help young people reflect, regulate, build routines and practise tools that can be used in real life.

Schools

Emotional wellbeing belongs inside everyday education.

Schools are often where pressure, comparison, relationships and identity become most visible. They are also one of the best places to build resilience early.

Our school work includes student workshops, teacher engagement, behavioural and emotional assessments, and longer-term partnerships such as Saksham.

150+ teachers have been assessed and engaged through our school work.

Parents & Families

Parents do not need more judgement. They need better understanding.

Adolescence changes the child, the parent and the relationship between them. Our work helps families understand those changes and respond with greater calm, clarity and connection.

Through workshops, conversations and practical guidance, we help parents understand behaviour, communication, emotional regulation and the developmental realities of adolescence.

1,200+ parents have engaged with Acrophile Foundation so far.
