Situation
More children than ever are struggling with their emotional wellbeing, with 1 in 5 experiencing a probable mental health disorder (NHS Digital, 2023). When children experience issues like anxiety, low-mood or anger management, prompt and effective support is vital to help them cope and prevent problems worsening. Otherwise the impact on their education, relationships and long-term prospects can be devastating. But many children are currently struggling to access the support they urgently need.
Solution
Blue Smile provides specialist mental health support for children aged 3-13 in Cambridgeshire schools, including 1:1 arts-based therapy and small-group work. We also help parents and teachers understand and meet children's emotional wellbeing needs at home and in school. We deliver our support in schools so that it is easy for families to access, whatever their circumstances. Our proven, early-intervention approach means children can lead happier childhoods and build brighter futures.
