Talk Together

Our Talk Together programme provides free trauma-informed creative therapies for children, young people and families from low-income households. The programme is core to our work and allows us to deliver mental health support services across a range of need, from early concerns to complex trauma recovery.

Why Talk Together?

The Talk Together programme helps children and young people reach their full potential. Our work focuses on reducing the long-term impact of trauma, improving mental health, and strengthening family relationships so that children can re-engage with education and build positive futures.

Our approach to therapy

Support is tailored across different levels, depending on the need and complexity, with each person receiving between 10 - 40 sessions:

Level 1a - Early intervention group - 10 sessions
Level 1b - Early intervention individual - 10 sessions
Level 2 - Trauma recovery support - 20 sessions
Level 3 - Long-term and complex trauma recovery support - 30 sessions
Level 4 - Longer-term and most complex trauma recovery support - 40 sessions

Family support

Involving the wider family in our support strengthens relationships and the environment that surrounds the child, helping the child to maintain and progress long-term.

This approach is core to our work because it:

is trauma-informed
is age-appropriate
addresses the root cause of issues
strengthens family resilience to benefit the child
provides young people and families with practical tools to self-manage long-term.

How does it work?

Assessment

A child, young person or family member can access our mental health service to meet with a qualified psychotherapist/ counsellor online.

2. Therapy

The therapy space is time and opportunity for an individual to discuss how they are feeling and how they are managing family dynamics, mental health concerns, or processing trauma.

3. Tools

Useful wellbeing tools or activities, mindfulness and creative work will be explored – whatever is determined from the initial sessions to help the to build long-term emotional resilience.

At our own pace

“Thank you for all the support you gave to my children. When many other services overwhelmed and pressured them to move forward due to lack of funding, your support allowed them to progress at their own pace. Kids Inspire gave them lasting skills to understand, cope and move forward in their lives.
