We run workshops and small groups about mental health and related issues for children, young people and their parents, carers and school staff. 

We keep any group work to small groups so that everyone participating feels comfortable.

This work helps:

• increase mental health awareness.  
• reduce stigma around mental health
• improves emotional well-being

These groups and workshops take place throughout the academic year. The offer changes in response to feedback and suggestions from parents, carers and young people, see right for some popular topics.
