North Kent Mind create bespoke packages of support to suit each educational establishments needs. Examples of the kinds of support we offer can be found below:
1 to 1 coaching of students identified to be either; i. at risk of developing mental health issues or ii. presenting increased need for mental health support. Coaching is a form of personal development and is a safe, reflective space to discuss current challenges concerning peers, school, personal wellbeing and general life experiences. Please note, this is not clinical therapy and should this be more suitable for the young person a subsequent referral will be made.

Training for staff or parents based on a range of common mental health issues; this includes detailed information about what they are, what to look out for, coping mechanisms and where to find further help/support
Parent/guardian drop in sessions are delivered physically or digitally to give parents/guardians a space to discuss individual concerns about their young person and be offered guidance of where to find the best support and further help. These sessions are run over a blocked period (generally 5pm-7pm, 6pm-8pm).
