StepWise Programme

A youth-engagement and education programme enabling young people affected by violence to learn, share and teach emergency lifesaving skills.

About the StepWise Programme

StepWise is StreetDoctors’ longer programme which runs for 8-10 sessions with the focus on youth engagement and social action. It supports young people affected by violence and trains them in life saving skills and social skills, which develops their self-confidence, communication skills, and inspires them to engage in social action.

Through a peer education approach, it enables the young people to learn and share their gained knowledge, to others in their communities.

StepWise enables young people to

  • Learn emergency life-saving skills so they can become lifesavers in their communities
  • Develop facilitation and training skills
  • Co-deliver emergency first-aid training sessions to peers alongside healthcare volunteers
  • Build their emotional and social skills

What do sessions include?

The sessions include StreetDoctors core Reducing Violence Programme, a nationally recognised First Aid qualification, mental health and emotional wellbeing session, peer education and facilitation training, a specialist sessionand the planning/ delivery of the social action element. Each project is tailored to the needs of the young people, partner organisation and commissioners.

StepWise taught me a lot of things. Living in a deprived area, it helps to understand that in a [violent] situation you could help the people around you. It also gave me insight into medicine and I want to pursue it as a career when I’m older.
