The Growth and Mindset project works with children from the age of 0 years old to 12 years of age to help them re-build their emotional resilience, self-esteem and confidence and their child development which has been devastated by the pandemic. We will work across specific areas in Neath Port Talbot (please contact us to find out more).
What we offer?
Mindfulness Clubs 9 -12 year olds
We will provide children aged 9 -12 years a 12 week Mindfulness Club which will be delivered face to face in schools, helping to rebuild children’s emotional resilience, confidence, self-esteem and mental wellbeing which we know has been impacted greatly by the pandemic. We will deliver a mindfulness programme that is very hands on by two Wellbeing and Parenting officers. The programme will each week look at a different theme such as managing emotions, self kindness, kindness to others, gratitude, positivity, managing worries and then provide the children with their own mental well-beingh first aid box, with all the resources developed through the programme being in one single place where they can call upon it in the future.
Children with Disabilities
We will be providing children with disabilities an opportunity to access one to one support sessions at our Centre in Resolven working with a qualified staff member to help build their emotional resilience, opportunities for child and social development. This service will be built around your child in partnership with you as parents and you will also have the support of our Parenting Officers who will ensure you are accessing the correct support, information and be that listening ear when it is need.
