Who we are
YEES is a practitioner-led Community Interest Company working with schools, colleges and youth settings. Our team brings youth-work, education and safeguarding experience into programmes for young people and the adults who support them.
The focus is practical: recognise what is happening, regulate before reacting, reflect on choices and build healthier relationships.
To help young people recognise emotions, regulate reactions and make more considered choices.
Young people and the adults around them have practical emotional-intelligence skills they can use every day.

Why we exist
Schools and youth services already provide behaviour management and academic support. YEES adds focused work on the skills beneath behaviour:
Recognising emotions, regulating reactions, reflecting on choices and strengthening relationships.
Young people are often expected to manage stress, conflict and pressure before anyone has shown them how. YEES creates space to practise those skills with experienced adults.
Our approach brings together:
Recognising emotions and naming what is happening.
Pausing and regulating before reacting.
Thinking through feelings, choices and consequences.
Using insight to choose a more considered response.
Turning emotional intelligence into safer choices.

Four principles guide every decision we make.
Lived experience
We’re practitioners first. Our work is grounded in real youth-work experience, not theory alone.
Evidence-led
We use structured emotional-intelligence tools, participant feedback and progress measures to shape and improve our work.
Safeguarding first
A young person’s welfare comes before everything. Safeguarding is built into how we work, not bolted on.
Built to last
We train the adults around young people too, so the change holds after we leave.
