The targeted primary intervention contract will focus on improving support available to families concerned about an individual being drawn into violent crime.
Stockton’s outreach and prevention charity – A Way Out – has been awarded £62,000 while Kalma Life secured £61,105 to deliver this approach over two years.
A Way Out supports women and young people with substance misuse problems, who are involved with sex work, homelessness or are living on the streets, often engaged in offending or victims of abuse.
Kalma Life will introduce exercise and mindfulness sessions in primary schools across Stockton and East Cleveland, using techniques such as breathing, yoga poses, relaxation, and visualisation, in a bid to help control emotions of youngsters.
