Benefits to the children
Our sessions help children to:

• Safely explore their issues
• Release pent up emotions
• Clarify how they see their situation
• Develop coping skills
• Move forward with their lives in a positive way

What the professional assessments show:

• Historically we have achieved accrued outcomes considered as an improvement in 92% of the children worked with
• Assessment includes follow up which demonstrates that benefits continue to accrue
• Assessment is by the school SENCo or the class teacher who are well placed to observe the child’s coping skills
• Assessment is NOT stressful for the child

Benefits to others who interact with the child
When children are able to move forward in a more constructive way then benefits also accrue for the family, peers, teachers and the community.

Social return on investment
The longer these issues are left unresolved, the more difficult and costly they may become. Neglect of these issues may sometimes be serious as the strains of emotional survival can result in a downward spiral of events in which their increasing despair and anger becomes a pathway to educational marginalisation, social disaffection and violence or self harm.

Lack of effective early intervention can incur substantial costs for the education, benefits, health, social work, police and justice services.There can be knock on effects for the next generation; sometimes quite soon.

Changed attitudes, and improved resilience & coping skills, are fundamental changes with far reaching implications for future lifestyles.
