About Us
Spiral is a charity based in Carlisle we work with 8-25 and their families, that are facing bullying related issues. The team work from a strength based approach, using this approach improves mental well-being and supports growth mindset.
Bullying can take away your confidence, cause self-doubt, increased anger, and many more emotional difficulties . Whist involved with Spiral we aim to provide you with positive relationships where you feel valued and heard. Being heard will support you to know your own value and this is when change can happen, you can create clear boundaries, speak-up, it will prevent you from acting from a fear-based response like fight, flight, freeze, which causes unhelpful / limiting behaviours.
To round-up what the 4-main outcomes for all involved with Spiral are:
- Feeling valued – experience positive relationships
- Opportunities for those with lived experiences
- Social inclusion – connect with others
- Improved well-being
