Mentoring, media and partnerships
Alongside school sessions, Patrick also works one-to-one with individuals, contributes to media and broadcasts, and partners with organisations that share GAM-Ed's mission.
Mentoring
There are occasions when people can benefit greatly from spending one to one time with someone who is not their parent or linked to their life. Patrick is increasingly providing this service to people in the early stages of recovery or who are struggling with their mental health as a result of addiction. Sessions provide a safe, warm environment where a straightforward discussion can take place.

Partnerships
The Mintridge Foundation
Patrick is an ambassador for the Mintridge Foundation. Mintridge is a charity where past and present athletes use their experiences, both positive and negative, to promote an active lifestyle and positive mental health for children and young people, and to harness the power of sporting role models to help and influence young people.
Teen Tips
Patrick is proud to be part of the Teen Tips team, working in collaboration and partnership with them as an organisation. The Wellbeing Hub complements and consolidates the work that Patrick does in schools brilliantly.
Teen Tips believe in early intervention. By providing those looking after children and young people with access to up-to-date professional advice and practical tools, they are more equipped to deal with the pressures of growing up. Teen Tips draw on the latest research from psychotherapy, psychology and neuroscience, along with Teen Tips founder Alicia Drummond's experience of working as an adolescent therapist and being a mum.
Training and resources are delivered via webinars and talks and The Wellbeing Hub, a live and interactive web app which provides expert support for the whole school community to access 24/7.
Teen Tips are passionate about helping schools, parents and carers deepen their understanding of childhood and adolescence in order to create environments which promote emotional wellbeing in young people.
