Emotional Wellbeing

In serious cases of emotional trauma, mental health professionals are on hand to offer support and advice to children and all adults involved. However, children often struggle to function within a school environment with external influences effecting there emotional stability.

Our varied experience of dealing with the range of emotions associated with mental health issues has produced a vast library of resources. Each child expresses their needs differently and we understand that behaviour difficulties can be a cry for help.

We produce resources which provide options and avenues for children to explore in communicating their problems in a constructive manner. These can be accompanied by various ‘traffic light’ or ‘emotions colours’ to provide an assessment process.

The colours of our emotions

This system provides a mechanism through which children are able to show and explain complex emotions. Basic emotions such as happiness, sadness and anger are attributed a colour (chosen by the individual). A form of communication (such as emotion clouds) can then be built on this foundation, providing a continuous feed of information and release for the child. Many will wish for this account to be a private record, so can be kept with an office environment or a secure system can be provided.

Scenario sequence

This resource provides a child with the opportunity to communicate a specific situation to a named adult. A 'comic-book' style book with colour coded (see above resource) labels such as emotions speech bubbles provides an outlet and opportunity for a child to explain a cause of anxiety or upset without needing to communicate verbally.

Issue identification

Distinguishing between serious and minor issues can be difficult for any child but is extraordinarily so for a child with attachment issues. In order to avoid a child examining the potential extreme ramifications of a situation, this simple 'mouse problem or elephant problem' assists them in creating a workable system. As this resource is designed for specific children and their own individual understanding and communication, please contact us for further information.
