About Us
Our Work
We‘ve been supporting children’s mental health for nearly 10 years and in that time we have seen the awareness and understanding of mental health grow, however, we have also seen the number of children struggling also grow.
We believe the two core industries that see the biggest impact of this are the care industry and the education industry. However, we also recognise that many of the professionals working in these industries do not feel equipped to support the emotional wellbeing of the children in their care.
Teachers are not trained to understand trauma, emotions and behaviour in a way that is embedded in their practice. This can often leave them feeling unequipped or overwhelmed in their roles.
Similarly, foster carers experience the same thing. There is a huge gap and one that is negatively impacting the outcomes of children and young people on a national scale.
Our Mission and Values
Every child needs to understand how to manage their mental health! Every child will experience adverse experiences, stress and difficulties as they navigate through their lives.
Our mission is to reduce the number of adults struggling with their mental health through early intervention and support for children. Real tangible day to day input that will give them the self-awareness, self-belief and emotional intelligence they need to flourish in the world. No matter what a child’s experiences, they should not be defined by their trauma and it is our mission to ensure they know this.
We help you to help them!
