Elements is a child-centred, Social & Emotional Mental Health Support Service. The purpose of elements is to help children and young people effectively connect across the four elements of wellbeing: Physical, Environmental, Social & Mental. We provide bespoke support programmes for children and young people who may be struggling to regulate their emotions. We offer 1-1 or group support within a safe, non-judgemental environment for a set period of time i.e.12 weeks. Valuable strategies are provided to parents and teachers so they can better communicate with the child or young person. It's important the child/young person to feel at ease, to do this we engage in ice breaker exercises to establish some rapport. Understanding the child's perspective on why they are here and what they themselves would like to focus on is always a great place to start.
