Children in the Community
Exciting project that is proposed in collaboration with organisations:
- One Step Further by Linda Smith
- Therapeutic Forest by Lea Archer
- Chameleon - by Tara Coppard
The aim of this project is to open a Support Hub in the local community that would support children, youth and their families.
Children in the Community is proposed because of:
- closure of Children's Centre left families unsupported
- parents struggling at home
- vulnerable pupils and those with additional needs are far less likely to do well at school
- the number of pupils with EHCP in Surrey has increased
- children with SEN excluded from school, with no school placement suffer from social isolation and lack sense of belonging
- increased number of mental health issues among children and young adults
- long waiting lists to CAMHS
- lack of pre and post diagnosis support for autism and ADHD and comorbid conditions
FAMILIES will be ENCOURAGED to:
- Feel SUPPORTED within their local community
- Understand that professionals working together to support a family need not be viewed as judgemental, and will work with the family to achieve the best possible social, emotional and wellbeing needs for the whole family
- Believe anything is possible because they are MOTIVATED and ASPIRE to achieve
- Be INDEPENDENT in their quest to learn new skills & strategies for helping themselves to flourish
- Be CONFIDENT, RESILIENT RISK TAKERS
- CELEBRATE DIVERSITY and be PROUD of themselves
We guarantee:
- holistic approach
- non judgemental environment
- professionals who listen and understand
- professionals who are passionate about their community
Families with SEN children will:
- have access to interventions and therpies such as sensory integration, LEGO therapy, Attention Autism
- have access to emotional support, counselling
- be able to participate in well-being activities and clubs
- be able to ask for advice on EHCP, DLA, schools
- be able to participate in training sssions
Details will be released soon!
