Situation
There are many children and young people (CYP) struggling with a wide range of needs, including being in crisis due to parental conflict, family bereavement, a serious physical or mental health issue within the family, being bullied or bullying, and the complex blend of problems that occur due to long-term poverty, housing or other social issues. Within the long term effects of covid-19, and the increasing pressure on children, parents and schools our service is needed now more than ever
Solution
We support schools and CAMHS by providing a mental health service that helps 2,000 vulnerable children per year. UP therapies give CYP a regular time, space, and consistent adult who use children’s natural language of play and creativity to provide nurturing, and healing experiences. The therapeutic relationship allows CYP who may feel out of control to make choices for themselves, to increase their awareness of the consequences of their actions and develop emotional intelligence and resilience.
