For schools
Every school community across Inverclyde can access our services
From class based work programmes, to small group interventions, to 1:1 sessions, we support young people to increase their resilience and manage the own emotional wellbeing.

- Increase understanding of emotional health needs
- Ensure active participation
- Establish a platform for children and young people to support themselves and maintain good Emotional Health and Wellbeing
- Build positive emotional health and resilience in coping skills
