How will this service help me?
Seedlings is a creative therapy service for Liverpool's primary schools. We work with children to explore and process troubling feelings and develop confidence in expressing themselves. This Mental Health Support for Children & Young People in Liverpool is funded directly by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside and schools. Sometimes when children are growing up, changes at home or school can be difficult to deal with.
The Seedlings team supports children's emotional needs, allowing them to develop, grow, and build their resilience. Difficult feelings can affect relationships with important people in our lives, when these feelings are expressed in therapy they become easier to understand and make sense of.
