Rooted

Rooted is a way of being, a way of thinking about long-term relational ministry with young people. Rooted works in any context, with any level of faith development and with any level of ability.

The Rooted model places the young person at the centre and seeks to provide space for that young person to grow, flourish and be nurtured in a safe, committed and compassionate Christian community. The material contained within this printed leader's guide gives you ideas for helping young people to explore the difference Jesus can make to their identity, purpose and self-worth. The printed leader's guide covers nine key themes:

• Exploring identity
• Sharing stories
• Understanding emotions
• Exploring self-worth
• Friendship and choices
• Social media and influences
• Healthy eating and wellbeing
• Trying new skills
• Dreams and aspirations.

The printed leader's guide also contains advice on running Rooted sessions, starting your own Rooted 'Hub' and suggestions for further development.
