Preparing future generations with skills and tools to strengthen their Mental, Social and Emotional wellbeing and giving them a more positive outlook on their future goals

Managing Mindsets mission is to create and deliver a toolbox of essential life skills to prepare people of all ages, abilities and professions. We are bridging the existing gap between the education system and the social skills that are required in day-to-day life.

Managing Mindsets was founded in the heart of Coventry. We have worked with underprivileged communities for over 20 years, facing problems such as gang violence, anti-social behaviour, drugs etc.

We strongly believe that everyone deserves a chance to better themselves. We aim to instil a strong sense of self-belief, empowering individuals in achieving their aspirations and gaining overall fulfilment.

Due to the Covid lockdowns, the issue of poor mental health has been exacerbated. There is a dire need for a self-help toolbox to combat the rising numbers of people with anxiety, depression, addiction etc. Methods such as CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) combined with the training we provide, is a better alternative to medication.

Through various youth groups, gyms, and establishments, we have organised a well experienced and licensed team that has identified a consistent lack of knowledge and skills in key areas.
We have put together a range of different programs and workshops to support members of our community and to give them the tools to build a better future for themselves.
These workshops are accredited by AQA and target relevant issues society faces today.

At Managing Mindsets, we strongly believe in using the outdoors to allow our clients to build meaningful connections, confidence and open doors to endless opportunities.

We believe in empowering people to step out of their comfort zones to attempt and overcome new challenges. Not only will this help with their physical and emotional well-being, but it will also keep our clientele busy and off the streets - a key priority of ours.

Managing Mindsets works closely with organisations such as The MMA Unit Coventry and Rising Stars youth group to make this possible. Over the years, we have taken community members on numerous national excursions, pushing their boundaries and persevering through physical and mental challenges, building meaningful relationships along the way.
