Community Child Mental Health Early Support Hub

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far, we have dates scheduled for January for the 6-week emotional literacy sessions to be delivered to children, funded and also for them to have some lovely resources to work with. 

We have been recruiting volunteers and our first training date in in December, we have created a training programme and manual and our sessions will be available for children here at our hub on Friar Gate and also as an after-school provision. the focus of these is for children to access kind and compassionate adults who can help them to learn more about emotions and boost their self-esteem in a fun and creative way.

We also have our two pilot 'Compassionate Craft' sessions starting this Saturday! This is for small groups of 5 children to come and craft and learn more about kindness and emotions in a gentle way. We can't wait!

We also have started the process of organising our pilot project for children at risk of exclusion. We have had a successful first meeting with the local authority and hope to work in groups of 5 to give children experiences that raise their aspirations, give them an outlet for the difficult emotions causing them to disengage from school, and build their growth mindset and aspirations.

Baker Ross has had its first order and we have also received lots of donations from our community - please keep up the awareness, let's do this!
