Kids Inspire is a children’s mental health charity offering free trauma support to families who might otherwise struggle to access it.

Based in Essex and Suffolk, we provide personalised mental health support through one‑to‑one and group sessions, helping every child get the care they need to thrive.

We prioritise families who need us most, with a focus on those on lower incomes, so that support is never out of reach.

Our vision

We want all children and families to have the support they need to recover from trauma and thrive.
