Merseyside Youth Association’s Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) is a VRP-funded peer mentoring, secondary school education programme.
It provides young people with the language and framework to explore and challenge the attitudes, beliefs and cultural norms that underpin gender-based violence, bullying and other forms of abuse while building resilience and promoting positive mental health. The programme empowers pupils to identify and communicate concerns with peers and school staff.
If your school is interested in incorporating the MVP programme throughout your setting, please register your interest in the link below.
