Concerns are growing for young people's mental health. We support children with emotional difficulties in a range of ways, including Feelings Casefiles and Lego Therapy.  We also have links with Healthy Minds, who are able to help young people with a range of emotional wellbeing concerns e.g. exam stress, worries, low mood, low body image, self-harm, relationship difficulties, low self-confidence.

Feelings Casefiles

The Feelings Casefiles is a 12-week coping skills intervention programme specifically designed for young people aged between 7 and 13 years with social communication and interaction difficulties, including autism. The programme teaches coping skills to help young people manage anxiety using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles. Young people can train to solve Feelings Casefiles led by the adult Lead Detective. 

The Feelings Casefiles programme has been designed and evaluated by educational psychologists within schools across the United Kingdom. Further information can be found here.

Lego Therapy

Lego therapy is a social development program for autistic children and other children with social communication difficulties. It uses children's love of Lego play, as well as their strengths and interests, to develop communication and social skills. Further information can be found in the fact sheet below.
