iDO BreakThrough is a personal leadership programme that gives them one place to actually process it: a way to ground themselves, name what’s really going on, and get focused on who they are and what they want. Built by Simone Richmond (MSc) and rooted in positive psychology and evidence-based practice, it has reached over 10,000 young people through talks and workshops since launching, with 96 students completing the full programme and an average improvement of 1.5 grades between predicted grades and final results.

Each young person leaves with something no one else could make for them: their own Daily Mantra, their own inspirational tool they build themselves and can keep returning to, long after the sessions end.

Is This Your Teen?

• The exam pressure and grade expectations don’t let up, and there’s nowhere for that stress to go

• Their phone keeps them in permanent comparison mode, whether they realise it or not

• What looks like checking out is usually them being overwhelmed with no outlet, not a lack of effort

• School gives them curriculum, not a space to actually process what they’re feeling

• Support is scattered across pastoral, careers, wellbeing: pieces that never quite join up into something they can hold onto

• You want them grounded and self-directed, not just getting through each day on autopilot

If any of this feels familiar, iDO BreakThrough was built for exactly this.

How It Works

iDO BreakThrough has already been delivered in schools and colleges across Bradford and West Yorkshire. This summer, for the first time, we’re bringing it directly to families through a small community pilot at The Hive.

Rather than leaving young people to absorb pressure from a dozen different directions with no way to process it, the programme gives them one coherent space: three areas, each building on the last.

• Self Awareness: naming what’s actually driving the stress and the shutdown, so they stop carrying feelings they can’t explain

• Self Mastery: challenging the self-doubt that comparison culture and academic pressure quietly build up, and replacing it with their own voice

• Self Management: turning that clarity into a real plan, with study habits, time management, and tools that hold up when the pressure’s back on

It’s not pastoral support in one room and careers advice in another. It’s one thread, built around them, that they carry out the door with them.

Sessions are practical, personal, and built around each young person, not a generic script.

What Families Are Saying

“This programme has really helped to build my confidence.”

Zarah, Bradford Secondary School

“We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to pilot the Dandelion programme with Simone Richmond. It has enabled us to challenge low aspiration and disengagement in a way that is both highly individualised but also has a warmth and kindness that has fostered the underlying self-esteem and personal growth that makes the results sustainable.”

N. Dempsey, Head of SENCo

Why Now?

Because right now, your teen is absorbing pressure from every direction: exams, comparison, expectation, with no outlet built for any of it, and no one place pulling the pieces together. iDO BreakThrough gives them that place: a structure, a voice, and a Daily Mantra they’ll carry with them long after the sessions end.
