I-MASCOT is a dynamic, trauma-informed programme designed by ASK PIP Charity to reach and inspire young people who may feel disconnected from traditional education. Rooted in care, creativity, and connection, this 7-session journey helps young people discover their own path. on their own terms. Whether they're navigating tough life experiences, struggling with confidence, or feeling like they don’t "fit the mould", I-MASCOT meets them where they are, and walks with them, forward.
What Makes I-MASCOT Different?
We don’t lecture. We listen.
We don’t label. We lift.
We don’t push. We partner.
Each session is built around core human needs, to be seen, to be heard, to belong, and to grow. I-MASCOT uses storytelling, creative expression, and active learning to build trust, spark motivation, and empower transformation.
The I-MASCOT Journey
I – Ignite: We start by lighting the fire within. Who am I? What matters to me? Young people begin to see that their story matters.
M – Make Choices: We explore the power of decisions, ownership, and self-direction. It’s about taking back the pen and writing your own future.
A – Activate Energy: Through creativity and movement, we help young people discover what energises them, and how to access that energy when it’s needed most.
S – Strengthen Resilience: Life can be tough. This session builds inner strength, emotional regulation, and the belief that you can get back up.
C – Celebrate Progress: Goal-setting becomes meaningful when we reflect on how far we’ve come. We cheer on even the smallest victories.
O – Open Up to Others: Connection is healing. Here, we nurture trust, safe communication, and healthy relationship skills.
T – Think with Empathy: The journey ends with perspective-taking and compassion, for ourselves and for others. We explore what it means to be part of something bigger.

I-MASCOT is ideal for:
