Kids Inspire provide mental health and trauma recovery support for children, young people and their families.

Through a range of therapeutic and community activities we promote resilience, self-awareness, and relationship building to empower more positive life choices. 

Our Mission

To ensure that all children in the UK receive specialist support to become healthy adults who lead complete and fulfilling lives. To provide and share inspiration and best practice with other providers across the education, health and private sectors. To develop and protect the brand, to protect the quality of the model and to take initiatives (including commercial initiatives) to raise funds.

How we help

Who are we? We are leading the way for long-term youth emotional and mental health.
