Story

Being a child in today's world is hard: The current picture of child mental health in the UK is concerning: Here at Standing in the Gap we stand in the large gap between the underfunded NHS services and children and parents. We bridge the gap in child mental health support with a programme of facilitated talks, workshops, online resources and bespoke support. We work in empowering partnerships with parents and schools to achieve emotional well being in preschool and primary aged children. See www.standinginthegap.uk for more info. To date we have worked with over 2300 children and parents. What do Parents say about us? “Thank-You. Services like this are what make a difference “Standing in the Gap is a wonderful charity focusing not just on the mental health of children but also equipping parents in supporting them too” “Standing in the Gap enables parents to better support their children's emotional needs. I am really pleased you exist as we have wanted help for a long time"
