Story
Why run in aid of children, young people and their family's mental health?
The impact of the cost of living and, still, the pandemic on youth mental health has greatly affected the families we support. Our specialist support has reached 4,023* children, young people, and families in the past year alone. We offer them space and time to work through early or complex mental health issues and to start recovery following trauma.
Our support services include:
• Referral screening and assessment of children’s needs to formulate treatment plans or signpost
• Fifty qualified practitioners and fifty trained mentors offering 1:1 and group sessions and meetings
• Ongoing admin support, maintaining communication with families, schools, and professionals
• and quality assurance, including monitoring, safeguarding, case management and supervision.
You have saved my son. He was a very sad child spending days in his room alone. Now he is smiling and likes to spend time with us and is even thinking of returning to school to meet old friends. He has changed so much and likes to go out and looks after himself. We were at a very low point as parents and didn’t know how to help him but Kids Inspire changed not only my son but us as well. Thank you from the bottom of our heart, we are forever grateful. - Mum
