Think Children offers one to one support for children aged 4-11 struggling to cope with the situations they are facing. The children will have emotional, social and/or behavioural issues and need early help to prevent their difficulties from escalating. 

We work with children from all different backgrounds with a wide range of issues such as strained family relationships, parental separation, exposure to drugs, crime, alcohol or substance abuse, bullying, bereavement, domestic violence, parental mental health, anxiety/stress/and low self-esteem.

We take our service to the child making the service as accessible, inclusive and non-stigmatising as possible.

Each child is offered 12 one-to-one sessions in the familiar surroundings of their primary school, enabling them to use the imaginary world of play to release pent-up emotions, clarify how they see their situation and move on with new coping skills and promoting positive mental health.

Referral Details

We help children aged 4-11 with a wide range of presenting issues whether sudden (such as bereavement, loss or other family crisis) or longstanding obstacles to learning and social integration (such as aggression, distraction or withdrawal). They will be struggling to cope emotionally, socially or have behavioral issues and need help tp prevent their issues from escalating.

We do not focus on just one type of issue or a specific group of children. We work sensitively with each child to help them explore the real issues underpinning their behaviour or distress. Follow-up evaluations prove that benefits continue to accrue after intervention, providing lasting benefits

Description

Think Children is an effective, highly-valued local charity supporting vulnerable children. We provide 1:1 support for children struggling emotionally aged 4-11 preventing their issues from escalating.

We provide an early intervention service at the onset of the problem with low-key, non-stigmatising one to one support for children who fall below the threshold for statutory intervention and for whom often there is often little or no other help available.
