Situation
We are seeing an alarming rise in children arriving at school unable to learn, self-harming and expressing suicidal ideation. Data from RCPsych shows a 53% increase of children in mental health crisis needing emergency support since 2019 and school exclusions are at record highs. Children with SEMH needs and experiencing mental distress are unable to learn or cope in the school environment, having disastrous consequences for them before their lives have even started, and for society's future.
Solution
We deliver early, holistic, therapeutic interventions in schools, to children with SEMH needs, that heal trauma, improve mental health and remove barriers to participation and learning. Our Psychotherapy, Occupational, Speech and Language Therapists help children develop social, emotional, communication and fine-motor skills, increasing wellbeing, participation, confidence, peer support and mental health. We restore self-esteem, hope, the capacity to learn and the chance of a happier future.
