Every Parent & Child have been awarded three year funding by BBC Children in Need to provide the My Time Counselling Service.
The Service will support children and young people (5–18 years old), who may or may not have special educational needs and are at risk of mental health issues, such as low self-esteem and confidence levels, anxiety, difficulties verbalising and regulating their emotions.
