Do you need help to explore and understand your emotions?
Are you feeling angry, sad, worried, anxious, but don’t know why? Do you need help to explore and understand the emotions you feel inside and why? We have a wonderful service based in Derby City Centre, called Bridge the Gap, to help young people do just this!
Child Mental Health C.I.C
Bridge the Gap are a Child Mental Health C.I.C. They are an emotional literacy based service, helping children to explore and understand their emotions, how they feel in their body, why they might be feeling different emotions, learn different ways of how to respond to different emotions, and putting it into action.
They are a non-clinical service and operate as a 'Relationship Focused Model'. This means they work to build safe relationships with children and young people, as well as those important to them; working longer-term with a child or young person for the best long-term outcomes. Jennifer Wyman and Nikki Webster are two of the directors at Bridge the Gap and they are committed to improving children's mental health in the U.K.
They want every child to know that they matter, they are loved and they are not alone.
