Our Connect-Ed services have had an impact on schools across London. Here's deputy head and mental health lead Abigail talking about how we've helped at Immanuel and St Andrew CE Primary School develop a whole-school approach to mental health.

Mental health support in schools can improve attendance.

Through our #ConnectEd services, CCS therapists support hundreds of children each year affected by abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect.

We provide a safe space to heal, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with learning, helping them move forward with hope.

This month, and especially this week- Mental Health Awareness Week- we reflect on Mary’s example by continuing to stand alongside those in need, with kindness, dignity, and compassion.
May this special month bring peace and comfort to all

Looking after mental health should never be a one-week conversation, but awareness is where change begins.

Sometimes the smallest check-in or conversation can make the biggest difference.

Around 3 in 10 children in the UK are living in poverty, with London hardest hit at 26%. It’s a stark reminder of why we work to bring hope and positive change to children and families.

"It has been incredibly reassuring to know that this safety net exists. It enables us to offer more holistic, meaningful support to families, beyond what schools alone can provide..."
