At Mente Hermosa CIC, we are committed to ensuring that children receive the emotional support and resilience they need from the earliest stages of life.
In the early years, a child’s primary support system comes from their family, school, and carers. It is crucial that this network provides the right kind of support for the child's future emotional and mental well-being. Our mission is to equip parents, teachers, and professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to recognise and respond to a child’s unique emotional needs through trauma-informed practices.
Our workshops teach caregivers and educators how to recognise the different "love languages" children use to express their needs. These include physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, and gifts. By identifying and acting on these emotional cues, caregivers can build a stronger bond with the child and provide the specific type of support that helps them feel valued, loved, and safe.
When children don’t receive the right kind of love and support, they may seek unhealthy forms of love later in life, falling into dangerous situations such as gang involvement, abusive relationships, or addiction. Preventing these outcomes starts with giving children the emotional resilience to recognise and receive healthy love early on.
With your support, we plan to establish our first academy, expanding our reach to more families and professionals who need our help. Our vision is to take this mission worldwide, creating a new standard for addressing childhood emotional health and preventing future trauma.
The funds we raise will help us:
- Facilitate workshops for parents, teachers, and professionals.
- Create and distribute trauma-informed caregiving resources.
- Cover operational costs, including expert trainers and materials.
- Provide sponsorship for children and families who need access to our services.
By supporting us, you’re helping build a brighter future where children’s emotional needs are met, trauma is prevented, and mental well-being thrives for generations to come. Help us make this vision a reality today!
