1:1 Therapeutic Sessions
Thriving Minds Project offers 1:1 support to children and young people experiencing mental health problems.
First we do an in depth assessment discussing many different areas of life, then we draw up a plan of which areas support is most needed.
We are passionate about putting our clients first, which means everything we do is tailored to what our clients want to achieve.
Our therapeutic sessions are provided by an experienced children's mental health nurse. They may explore a range of topics, including managing emotions, finding coping strategies, navigating friendships and more.
Family Focused Approach
At Thriving Minds Project, we understand that children's lives are strongly affected by the people around them. That's why we work with parents as well as children, to explore the many factors which influence a child's mental health. Parents and carers are included in our assessment process, and we maintain communication with them throughout the time we work with their children.
Children have a right to confidentiality, and practitioners must always seek permission from children before sharing information. However, we find many children want their parents and carers to be involved, and when this is difficult we support families to have meaningful dialogue.
Parenting a child who has mental health struggles can be hard, and Thriving Minds Project aim to support parents and families as much as we support the children.
Access to Support
Some of the people we work with have difficulty accessing conventional mental health support. At Thriving Minds Project, we do things differently.
We offer face to face support in a range of different ways; home visits, school sessions or in-office sessions are available to ensure we meet the needs of those least able to access traditional therapies.
If a child is unable to manage being in a 1:1 environment, we always allow a trusted adult to be present, and work with children this way until they are comfortable to progress. At Thriving Minds project we think outside the box when it comes to forming trusting relationships with children, utilising a range of strategies to enable them to engage.
