Stand Up for Yourself
Stand Up for Yourself is a joyful and supportive programme which focuses on building confidence and courage and helps participants find the humour in life. We analyse how comedians communicate to draw out lessons and develop skills to apply in everyday life. At the end of the programme, participants present a 5-minute stand-up comedy routine in front of a live audience.
Participants learn how to unlock their creativity, overcome fear and anxiety and to present with style and confidence. They practise self-belief, build conviction and create resilience.
Each week, participants embrace a challenge to make changes that ultimately bring huge benefits to mental health, wellness, and life.
Stand Up for Yourself is conducted over six weeks and delivered through weekly two-hour workshops, remotely or in person as required.

PRESENTATIONS
We lead highly motivational and interactive presentations using motivational and inspiring footage, sharing personal experiences as well as engaging young people through taking part. Our presentations are custom built and are devised around the needs of our participants.
An example of our work:
"Indestructible You"
- The power of taking action in order to crush limited self-beliefs.
- The importance of taking responsibility and standing strong on one’s own.
- Breaking through negative patterns of behaviour in order to reveal a new.
- Becoming a true product of oneself and not our environment or past actions.
HHH devises presentations for your specific needs.
PRODUCTIONS
In our unique ‘Productions’ course, we offer young people the opportunity to express themselves in whatever form they wish to address, focusing on both relevant personal and social issues. Our participants create the opportunity to reveal their true voice in whichever art form they choose from playwriting to puppeteering, to spoken word or dance.
We are all naturally creative beings and to tap into that force enables us to build self-esteem, identity and develop a strong sense of self which are crucial components to leading happy and fulfilling lives.
"The 18 - 24’s felt so motivated after their first session, they asked her to come back to do more. Tash has a fresh approach and that is what our clients need to keep them hopeful and motivated."

"Tash has worked with and affected some of our most challenging students, and manages to engage them and build positive relationships – students from previous groups still acknowledge and spend time talking with her.
The students describe her sessions as inspiring...she really made me think...it makes me want to be better”.
