Becky Canton

Senior Health & Wellbeing Practitioner

I’ve been a qualified youth worker for ten years and have worked for grassroots organisations and larger charities providing a range of support. I have experience of working in projects for refugee young people and young carers, I’ve taught RSE (relationship and sex education) in a variety of settings, have jointly run therapeutic groups for traumatised young people and managed universal youth club sessions. Throughout all of this I’ve worked one to one with young people to, providing them with a safe space to talk through any issues they face and support to take steps forward when they feel it’s necessary. In my role as Senior Health and Wellbeing Practitioner I’ll be continuing to provide 1-1 support to young people, helping them find their voice and articulating their needs. I’ll also be looking at how the Well Centre can provide group sessions; these will be opportunities for young people experiencing similar challenges to meet, get support and find ways to progress together as a community

I believe that all young people can achieve anything that they put their minds to pushing themselves to their fullest potential in order for the young person to achieve their end goal. I use the social prescribing method, to ensure that all of the young people that I work with needs are met in a holistic way enhancing their health and wellbeing. I refer the young people that we work with to a range of local, non-clinical services which is of interest to them which enables the young person to improve their health and well-being.

Elliot Omari

Health & Wellbeing Practitioner

My name is Elliot and I work at The Well Centre as a health and wellbeing practitioner, I’m a psychology graduate with a passion for helping young people. My job is to offer support and help to young people that are experiencing a range of issues, from psychological to emotional problems.
Using psychology and cooperative communication I aim to explore challenging topics and addresses any concern a young person may be dealing with. Through the use of holistic methods, I aim to facilitate a young person’s growth through their own decisions in improving their health and wellbeing.
I have a background in young people’s mental health and wellness, I worked as support staff in a PRU and spent some time as a HCA in a mental health facility. These experiences have had a large impact on me and how I approach mental health, it has shown me how many young people feel neglected and not taken seriously. I want to change this and demonstrate that if given appropriate
attention and adequate support a young person can achieve a great deal.

Most of my work has been with young people who have mental health difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, and young people with additional needs such as Autism and ADHD. Having worked in an early intervention team previously, I believe that early intervention and providing young people with the skills they can use themselves to help them with their difficulties is important and can help a great deal in the future.
