Stigma Stall Program

Free Mind Skate School is proud to offer a tailored mentoring service aimed at developing better everyday living-skills and increased social- interaction. The ‘Stigma Stall Program’ utilizes a unique blend of social-psychological principles and concepts from the philosophy-of-mind to help clients identify areas of concern regarding behaviours and attitudes towards the world in which they exist.

As well as being an avid skater, Stigma Stall mentor Josh also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioural Science and has vast experience in youth mentoring/engagement. Using positive mentorship through skateboarding to build a trusting and informal relationship, this serves as the foundation that positive change can be built upon.

Skateboarders are incredibly resilient, which comes from years of mastering their craft. In life we must get back up when we fall, and although falling is inevitable at times, this does not have to mean failure. Through progression in their skating, clients see within themselves that positive change is possible in their life. This inherently promotes clients to willingly take responsibility for their own future, whilst continually building confidence and developing resilience. This cutting edge program purposefully seeks to reduce the harmful effects of stigmatization, with the aim of promoting an overall higher quality of life and improved sense of wellbeing.

The ‘Stigma Stall Program’ aims to make participants comfortable with who they are, despite their setbacks, and is much less concerned with creating elite skaters.
