Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Support for Children and Young People
Emotional health and wellbeing
The Challenge
- Three children in every average secondary school class have a diagnosable mental health problem.
- 67 Children a day are helped by Childline for suicidal thoughts and feelings.
- 75% of mental health problems stem from difficulties in childhood and adolescence.
We have seen a huge rise in the demand for our services over the last 5 years and this is why it is critical that children and young people are able to access the support they need in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Our Approach
Using a humanistic counselling approach and therapeutic tools, we help professionals, teachers and students understand and deal with their emotional health and wellbeing.
We offer a range of services which include one-to-one support, peer mentoring, parent/guardian support and workshops/training sessions.
How we help young people
All of our wellbeing advisers offer non-judgemental and confidential support sessions which aim to identify problems and issues early , understand them and look for ways to resolve them or limit their impact.
We focus on the individual and collaboratively identify problems and solutions. This gives the student ownership over their approach to improving mental health which leads to an increase in confidence, resilience and commitment to education.
Learn More
Each school we work in has a designated wellbeing adviser who liaises within the school's pastoral support network to ensure we can provide the most effective interventions for students.
We use a dynamic approach to meet the needs of the school and offer a bespoke prevention, early intervention and parallel mental and emotional health and wellbeing structure.
