As of the 1st October 2023 Pearl Dental is proud to be a charity partner of Invictus Well-being.
Invictus Well-being is a charity based in Calderdale and Bradford which supports young people aged between 5-25 with their mental health and well-being, by delivering various projects.
What do Invictus do?
BREW project
The Brew Project is a new and simple concept: A child or young person (aged 5-17) can access a confidential and non-judgmental one-to-one support session via telephone, video call, face to face or walk-and-talk sessions.
It is called the Brew project because that’s what they intend it to be: the chance to have a virtual cup of tea with someone outside of the young person’s family and friendship circles. The wellbeing advisers are there to speak with, support and help children and young people find solutions to problems, concerns and issues they may be facing.
There is a clear signposting and referral pathway and they work closely with Northpoint & The Open Minds Partnership (Calderdale), Mind Bradford & The Healthy Minds Emotional Wellbeing Programme (Bradford).
Once a referral has been made, the admin team will contact you/the family within 48 hours to discuss further and assign a wellbeing practitioner. They aim to offer initial support within 5 working days.

This support reflects what young people voiced they would want in wraparound support and will include:
