World Mental Health Day

Children do not always have the words to explain how they feel. Through play, they can communicate, explore and make sense of experiences in a safe, therapeutic relationship.

Play therapy offers a specialist therapeutic approach to supporting children's emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Listening to children's lived experiences can lead to change in how adults understand their difficulties, respond to their needs and provide support.
