Supporting Children Through Change

Family change like separation, divorce, bereavement and illness affect so many children.

We've created a CPD-certified in-school programme that meets children exactly where they are. Through gentle movement, breathing, mindfulness and creative activities, children learn tools they can use anytime, anywhere to support themselves through transitions.

Family Transitions: Supporting Children Through Change is CPD certified (CPD Provider No. 22284), covering twenty evidence-informed practices — including grounding, breathwork and body-based regulation through the S.H.I.F.T Protocol — alongside seven creative activities for processing big feelings.

In our early pilot, 75% of children were calmer or happier after the sessions — the first sign this approach works, and part of why we've since built it into a fully certified training programme for schools.

What children learn:

  • Breathing & movement techniques for emotional regulation.

  • How to understand what their body is telling them.

  • Creative ways to process big feelings.

  • That they're not alone in what they're going through.

Delivered via a train-the-school model. We work with your school staff to deliver the programme in small groups, building capacity and expertise within your team. This ensures sustainable, trauma-informed wellbeing support tailored to your school community.

Testimonials

  • "I think where this is unique, it's in that group environment so they can see that they're not the only one. There are other children that are going through the same thing".

    Parent of participant

  • "I do think this is a gap (in school provision)... having an intervention at a group level for children who are all experiencing the same difficulty of bereavement and separation and divorce. It is a nice programme for the children to work together on and know that they're not the only ones that are experiencing it".
