Schools Training and Mentoring Project STaMP

Early intervention is important in the prevention of youth homelessness. STaMP is one of the ways we engage with young people whilst they are still in school or education to raise their awareness of the causes of homelessness, to recognise the circumstances that can lead to homelessness and raise awareness of where to go for get help before situations esculate.

Some of the young people we work with visit local schools as part of the STaMP programme along with staff members to tell their stories in school assemblies about how they became homeless or at risk of homelessness and where and how they got help. We also offer a peer mentoring service for any student in need of extra support.

The STaMP programme is our most wide reaching project. We currently offer this service in Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and North Worcestershire.
