I read something very sad today..

There has been a significant rise in young children between the ages of 8-16 with a mental health disorder. 78% of children surveyed by Mind, stated that school had made their mental wellbeing worse. 270,300 children and young people are on the waiting list for mental health support in the UK.

This is heartbreaking. This isn’t good enough and unfortunately as a small organisation working directly with children in their school environments, we see a lot of this to be true.

Someone asked me recently what it is we are aiming to do with our work in schools. Instead of the usual spiel I would recite about building emotional resilience and providing intervention through creativity to provide strategies where children can begin to self-regulate and better understand their emotions… I simply said, we want to bring back some joy.

These photos are taken from a recent intervention project we have completed with a primary school and what I love about them is the joy, don’t we all need more joy right now.

Thank you for your support and funding – Watford Borough Council

This week is children’s mental health week! We wanted to share some data we’ve collected from a recent project with a primary school which shares thoughts from staff about the project and also records the children’s check in and check out emotions 🫧

Our early intervention work involves Dance and Mindfulness workshops for small groups of children referred for needing extra emotional support, struggling with anxiety, low self esteem and/or are school refusers.

We are so proud of the work we do and will continue to do in primary schools to support and advocate for children to have provision to better mental health ✨

Yes, we are late with this post but blame baby Wren and the juggle of getting things up and running for the year which wouldn’t be possible without the superstar

⭐️ All of our dance and dancing mindfulness classes are now up and running for the spring term and we have some lovely new team members working with us

We’re almost at the end of January, a month I personally love because of the slower pace and the general lower expectations we have of each other and ourselves which can open up space to breath and reflect. It can however be an anxious time as we move into some uncertainty but I am doing my best this year to reframe my mindset so let me leave you with this when the days are still short, dark and cold..

what’s the best that can happen ? ✨✨
