The main aim of LINX is to help young people understand the concept of cognitive and affective empathy and to help reduce anti-social or violent behaviour from occurring in the future.
LINX has an understanding that anti-social behaviour is frequently adopted as a survival strategy and therefore offers a credible alternative to exclusion and disruptive behaviour.
We have designed an iterative magnetic ‘Empathy Wall’, to enable young people explore links between their lived experience, feelings and offending behaviour. They are also given the opportunity to explore skills to manage risk and learn how to communicate in a safe and constructive manner, in turn helping them to build healthy relationships, develop social skills and emotional literacy.
