Group support is delivered through a 10-week wellbeing programme that aims to develop emotional intelligence and teaches positive coping strategies to help them manage emotions.

  • Children and young people aged 5-19 and up to 25 with additional needs

Feedback on Mighty Minds

Worry jars were my favourite activity because it was very fun, and I think it has really helped me at home.

Young person

My son did some work with your worker, she came into school to work with him, and it was amazing it really helped with his anxiety and I wanted to thank her.
