Programs

Our programmes are built on one guiding principle: young people know what works for them.
That’s why every one of our mental health and wellbeing initiatives is co-designed alongside children, teenagers, and the adults who support them—ensuring what we create is useful, relatable, and ready for the real world.

We develop creative, inclusive, and practical approaches that go beyond traditional therapy models. Whether in schools, youth centres, homes or online, our work meets young people where they are—and helps them move forward.

What Makes Our Programmes Different?

  • Co-Produced: Developed with young people and families at every stage

  • Flexible: Adaptable for use in classrooms, communities, and clinical spaces

  • Inclusive: Designed with neurodiversity, disability, culture, and identity in mind

  • Evidence-Informed: Guided by research and grounded in lived experience

  • Creative: Using art, play, nature, and tech to support emotional wellbeing

Our Key Programme Areas

Here’s a look at the kinds of work we do. All programmes are developed in collaboration with partners, young advisors, and professionals across health, education, and community settings.

🌿 Nature & Wellbeing

We know that connection to the natural world can have a powerful impact on mental health. Our nature-based programmes help children and young people reduce stress, build self-awareness, and strengthen relationships.

Activities include:

  • Outdoor group sessions focused on emotional regulation

  • Gardening, sensory walks, and nature-themed crafts

  • Programmes for families navigating anxiety or attention challenges

  • Toolkits for schools and youth workers to run outdoor wellbeing sessions

These sessions are accessible for all abilities and are adapted to suit different ages and settings, from inner-city allotments to school gardens.

🎮 Creative & Digital Support

Mental health support should reflect how young people live today—and for many, that includes digital spaces and creative expression.

Our creative and tech-focused programmes include:

  • Social and emotional learning through interactive games

  • Animation and storytelling groups for emotional processing

  • Guided journaling and self-reflection using online platforms

  • Virtual spaces for peer support and confidence-building

These programmes are ideal for young people who may not feel comfortable in traditional talking therapy, and are especially popular with neurodivergent participants.

🧱 Play-Based Interventions

Play is powerful, especially when it comes to building communication, confidence, and connection. We offer structured, evidence-informed play-based programmes that:

  • Support children with social interaction challenges

  • Encourage teamwork, turn-taking, and emotional expression

  • Use familiar toys or building tools to reduce anxiety and foster trust

  • Involve trained adults or peers as facilitators

These sessions work well in schools, after-school clubs, and with small family groups. They’re designed to be low-pressure, inclusive, and fun.

🎭 Expressive Arts & Mental Health

For some young people, drawing, drama, music or movement offer safer, more engaging ways to explore emotions than words ever could. Our expressive arts programmes include:

  • Group-based creative writing for young people processing low mood

  • Art and music workshops for building resilience and identity

  • Movement and body-awareness sessions for young people with trauma histories

  • Facilitator toolkits to support emotional safety and inclusion

All programmes are designed to help participants feel seen, heard, and empowered.

🧠 Emotional Skills in Education

We work with schools and colleges to create practical, student-informed approaches to mental health and emotional wellbeing. These programmes aim to complement—not replace—pastoral care and PSHE.

Examples include:

  • Whole-class sessions focused on managing stress and relationships

  • Small group activities for pupils who need extra support

  • Staff training in youth-led listening and inclusive approaches

  • Resources co-created with students to support mental health across the school day

Our goal is to make mental health support a natural part of learning—not something separate or stigmatised.

How Programmes Are Delivered

We offer a range of delivery models to suit the setting and needs of the young people involved:

  • Facilitated Sessions – led by trained youth workers, therapists, or peer mentors

  • Train-the-Trainer – helping schools and services deliver sessions independently

  • Self-Guided Resources – digital or printable packs for families, educators, or youth workers

  • Pilot & Research Projects – co-developed with communities and evaluated in real-time

We also offer hybrid models that blend face-to-face and digital support, making our work accessible in both urban and rural areas.

Who Are These For?

Our programmes are suitable for:

  • Children aged 6–12

  • Young people aged 13–25

  • Families and carers

  • Teachers, youth workers, and frontline practitioners

We pay particular attention to groups often overlooked or underserved by mainstream services, including neurodivergent young people, those from minority backgrounds, young carers, and those with additional communication needs.
