With a sharp increase in the number of children experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition, now 1 in 6 children, and half of adults with mental health problems first experiencing symptoms by the age of 14, children and young people need support. There has been a 39% rise in referrals for treatment for severe mental health support over the last year, the third year in a row of such a rise, showing the need for specialist mental health support in schools has never been greater.

Our expert teams work in schools across the UK to support pupils and help them to manage challenges in their lives. In safe spaces in their schools, children and young people can open up about their concerns to a trained counsellor. Pupils can also access a course of one-to-one counselling, learning tools and techniques to manage more complex issues in their lives. Our vision is for all children and young people to have the support they need to build lifelong coping skills and to thrive.
