OUR PROGRAMMES · SHAMAR RESTORE
Teen Behavioural Support & School Reintegration Programme
Shamar Equip is a three-week therapeutic programme designed to help teenagers build confidence, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping skills through professionally facilitated group sessions and activities.
Looking Beyond the Behaviour
School suspension or disciplinary action may address an immediate behaviour, but it does not necessarily address what is happening beneath it.
Poor emotional regulation, trauma, loss, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, addiction, family difficulties, bullying and peer pressure may all contribute to behavioural challenges.
Shamar Restore uses the suspension period as an opportunity for preventative and restorative intervention. Rather than allowing this time to become purely punitive or unproductive, the programme helps teenagers explore the factors influencing their behaviour and begin developing greater understanding, responsibility and agency.
Who Can Benefit?
This programme is ideal for teenagers who:
Are Facing Disciplinary Action
Students currently facing sanctions or disciplinary action at school.
Have Ongoing Behavioural Difficulties
Students with a history of problematic behaviour within the school environment.
Have Been Suspended
Students who have been suspended from school and require behavioural intervention.
Feel Stuck in a Negative Cycle
Young people experiencing repeated difficulties across different areas of their lives and struggling to find a way forward.

Making the Suspension Period Count
School suspensions can leave families wondering what happens next. Shamar Restore reframes this period as an opportunity to understand the underlying factors contributing to a teenager's behaviour and begin working towards meaningful change.
Alongside therapeutic intervention, the programme includes supervised schoolwork and tutor sessions, helping students remain connected to their academic responsibilities while participating in the programme.
Shamar Restore works together with schools and parents, recognising that lasting change extends beyond the teenager alone.
