Professionals 

As a teacher or other professional working with children and young people, finding the right support for them can be difficult. By situating our team in schools and colleges, we hope this will help to break down these barriers.

Services available to education settings

An offer for each education setting type is below, with specified support based on the needs of the differing pupil populations.

Behavioural Activation

Behavioural activation is about encouraging children to get more out of life through activities that lift their mood. Find out how it works and how you can support children you work with.
