Story
Child Suicide Prevention
Having been awarded the Number 1 Boiler Installer in South East England, we are now actively helping a local Medway based Charity - The Life Matters.
The Life Matters is a brand new charity helping children and young adults who are struggling to cope with everyday life, self-harming or even taking their own lives.
Current mental health organisations and even the NHS are often over run given the alarmingly high amounts of people seeking help and that's where The Life Matters comes in.
Offering regular 1-2-1 sessions with children who are struggling could literally be the difference between life and death and this is exactly what your donations will be going to, aswell as the following:
- Children's 1-2-1 sessions
- Children's assessment of needs
- Family assessment of needs
- Sign posting / referrals to other agencies.
Research tells us that 7% of UK children have attempted suicide by the age of 17 - THIS IS UNNACCPTABLE.
How have we allowed this to happen in this day and age?
The Life Matters carry out child assessments and develop a plan running over a 10/12 week course.
They're support branches out to not only children and families suffering, but they open their support to Schools, GP Practices, Social Services and Youth Clubs.
Please act now by giving what you can and share this page to everyone you know!!
