What you will learn

“I didn’t want to go — but just one session in, I knew this was different. We talked about bullying, identity, fears, and negative thoughts. The tools were fun but powerful. I started speaking up in class and felt more confident.”

“This was the first time I felt heard. It wasn’t just advice — it was support. I’ve learned how to pause, reflect, and not react immediately.”

“Ignite helped me realise that I’m not alone in how I feel. I used to hide everything, but now I journal, speak up more, and feel more in control.”

“My favourite part? The self-worth tools and learning how to stop comparing myself to others. I feel lighter.”

“Helps you cope with fears, anxiety and stress.”

“It is something that is not taught in school but it’s extremely vital.”

“I felt connected and I could relate to many things.”

“It was fun and interesting. It taught me what to do when you feel stressed.”

“I wish they taught us about navigating our emotions, mental health and self-care in school. Then came Ignite. It was everything I wish I had learned earlier — how to validate my feelings, how to think more clearly, and how to believe in myself. I’ve put posters up in my room and filled my gratitude jar. Ignite reminded me that it’s never too late to grow.”

"I just wanted to say thank you for getting up early to take Sam’s workshop on the weekend. He thought it was worthwhile and said you are a very, very nice lady! Sometimes as a parent you realise you need to step back and get someone else to deliver the message. I’ve noticed a positive attitude from Sam this week too!"
