Who are The HOW People?
Co founders are Jo and Polly. Jo is a GP, life coach and mum of 4 including 2 teenagers so sees the issues of reduced self esteem and confidence, anxiety and poor mental health in our young people along with the need for role models who aren't parents and aren't teachers at this time.
Polly is a Mum of two who has grown up in Mumbles. She is a newly qualified volunteer coastguard and avid beach cleaner as well as a teen mentor who brings together her skills in leadership, building inclusive communities and the love of her environment and the outdoors with infectious enthusiasm.
The HOW People's mission, with their courses and communities, is to support, inspire and connect young people to help them with their mental and physical wellbeing along with building the life skills and habits needed to navigate entry into the teen years and the transition to secondary school.
Alongside their digital community for teenage girls they deliver assemblies, workshops and a full programme of sessions into Year 6 classrooms with their team including Emma Clift who is a brilliant Year 7 tutor and PSHE teacher in secondary schools and Jo Williams who is a psychotherapist with years of experience working with teenagers.
