Strength in Mind was formed in 2015 offering volunteering support to schools and the local community in Hertfordshire. We registered the organisation in 2019 as a CIC to start trading the service due to the level of need presenting Strength in Mind works in collaboration with local schools and mental health services providing a positive package of support to children, young people aged 0 – 25, and adults struggling with their mental health and emotional well-being. Our aim is 1)to address mental health early to prevent unnecessary escalation 2)to offer affordable counselling and therapeutic support to offer funded counselling and therapeutic support to offer staff training to address the rise in emotional wellbeing concerns in schools.What we do : Our team of 11 qualified mental health professionals (psychotherapists, counsellors, art therapist and therapeutic life coaches), led by Lesley Cole, offer a range of therapeutic interventions, which include; A)Direct support B)1:1 CounsellingC)1:1 trauma informed Psychotherapy D)Walk and Talk Therapy E)Group Counselling F)Bereavement Therapy G)CBT/DPT H)Art and Play Therapy I)Mindfulness J)Nurture and Theraplay K)Therapeutic life coachingOur counselling sessions are hourly and means tested, some part or fully funded. Every therapy package is delivered and tailored to meet the individual needs of each child, young person and adult attending.We also believe that a one size fits all approach is not the best way of combatting these issues.We have therefore developed several targeted programmes including:1.Grief recovery 2.Exam stress 3.Dealing with anxiety 4.Protective behaviours 5.Resilience 6.Self-harm support 7.Parent workshops 8.Stigma reducing men’s and boys groups 9.Specialist girls sexual abuse support 10.Emotionally Based School Avoidance 11.FLASH (Families Learning about Self Harm)
We understand the local community and build a team and role around what is needed and asked for. We find out the information by holding yearly audits of our schools, reaching out to the community to give us honest feedback, by the data we already collect that identifies the top 3 areas of needs for our local community, from feedback through the social media platforms. But, we also go to the heart of the issues within our community. We speak to the families that have suffered loss, adversity and we ask them “what is needed? What have we missed?” We also sit on and already work and liaise with many community networking groups and collate feedback from those platforms. We currently work in partnership with the local parish churches, local schools, health services, voluntary organisations, local authorities in Broxbourne, Watford, Bishops Stortford and Hertfordshire County Council to ensure the widest reach possible and that people are not slipping through the gaps in provision.
