My Time Wellbeing Service
Every Parent & Child (EPC) is a registered charity working for the benefit of children, young people and families in the London Borough of Enfield and surrounding areas.
EPC has been awarded funding for one year from Awards for All to provide the My Time Wellbeing Service.
The Service will support children and young people (5–18 years old), who may or may not have special educational needs/disabilities and are at risk of mental health issues, such as low self-esteem and confidence levels, anxiety, difficulties verbalising and regulating their emotions. The support will consist of 1-2-1 face to face, play therapy/counselling sessions.
Sessions will be 45 minutes in duration, once a week, for a block of 10 weeks and delivered at identified schools, during school hours and/from EPC offices. Parents/carers and external agencies can also refer to My Time Wellbeing Service. Please visit our website; www.epandc.org.uk for our Referral Form.
The Service will also support the parent/carer of the referred child/young person with wellbeing through 1-2-1 face to face counselling and half term family activities focussing on healthy eating, exercise and art therapy.
