This project will provide funding to deliver 40 Relax Kids sessions that aim to support school aged children with emotional resilience and strategies to use in times of emotional turbulence.
Pledges will only be charged if the project hits its funding goal of £2,407 by 29 Feb 2020
We will run Relax kids sessions, a proven relaxation programme within 1 school close to Hassocks and 1 school close to Chichester. These funds are not being raised for 2 named schools as having spoken to many schools in the last year I know that many of them do not have enough space in their budgets to bring in programmes. There will be 6 sessions each term and 2 workshop style sessions. The project will include delivering a talk to the parents and/or on ways to support good mental health & well-being in our young people. Relax Kids aims to give children access to a variety of simple and effective techniques to use for relaxation, it can also provides an element of mindfulness and stress management. These techniques can be delivered in a holistic, child-centred, fun and creative way. Teaching our young people these techniques through the 7-step Relax Kids programme can give them the key to better mental health, improved self-esteem and greater emotional resilience.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This project serves as an early intervention programme to support healthy emotional development. Early intervention can help to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors in a child's life. Early intervention in a child's emotional development can raise children's awareness of their own needs and recognise the needs of others around them. Teaching them how to manage their emotions during those trickier times can lead to improvement in their self-esteem and self-worth which in turn can help them to form more positive relationships with their family, their peers and the other members of their community. It can also lead to a reduction in the risk of depression and other mental health issues as they grow older which in turn can reduce the cost on the NHS for CAMHS and Adult Mental Health Services.

Offer somethingOur mission is to empower all ages to develop confidence, emotional resilience and grit. To support them to become more self-aware and more aware of their space in the world around them. We help to equip people with skills and strategies to manage everyday stresses and life’s overwhelming challenges. We offer a variety of activities such as Relax Kids/Just Relax/Little Stars/Baby Mindful relaxation sessions or counselling to enable this. Alternatively, we can collaborate with local organisations, or individuals to provide a supportive service.
Our directors live in Chichester, Haslemere and Hassocks so our communities are diverse. Our aim for our communities is to rewire unhelpful thinking that may lead to isolation, anxiety and depression and inspire the community as a whole to offer help and support to their family and their neighbours. We aim to celebrate and encourage diversity and cohesion through good mental health and well-being. Our services are available to all, however we recognise that there are groups who may fundamentally benefit from our service such as early intervention with children in primary school or 18-25 year olds, particularly men, who no longer benefit from childhood services and yet may not be able to afford well-being services, such as counselling, on their own.
