a new 10-week series to help build strong minds
I've written this course because I have seen more and more young people struggling with what their minds are telling them about themselves, others and the world around them. We used this course with our two youth groups: 11- to 14-year-olds and 14- to 18-year-olds. It received very positive reviews. One young person said:
"The changing minds series was really helpful to me as it helped me to think about some things that had happened in the year."
I want to be clear that I'm not a trained counsellor, but a church youth worker. I do think that the Bible helps young people make sense of who they are, what they are here for and what the future holds for them.

There are ten teaching sessions in Changing Minds. The download includes teaching notes, participant's booklet, Powerpoint proforma and a folder of publicity options, using pictures and Instagram content. .
Each teaching session contains two A4 pages of teaching notes with key Bible passages, key words, detailed notes and song ideas.
Participant's booklets include weekly weekly activities, key verses, space for notes and a weekly memory verse.
The Bible says: "As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27.17).
With that in mind, please send me any feedback and I'll improve the material for others. Thanks.
