Christmas Campaign
Children impacted by domestic abuse can only dream of a 'silent night'.
Our children’s counsellor met Harry at school, somewhere familiar and safe. Over eight weeks, they worked together, one to one, at Harry’s pace. Using drawing and crafts, they gave his feelings names and shapes. They turned his ‘red thoughts’ into ‘green ones’. He learned bubble breathing for when things felt too big, and together they built a calm down toolbox, full of things that help when the anger comes.
Most importantly, Harry finally had a safe space to talk about what he’d seen at home, and someone who listened.
By the end of his sessions, Harry understood his feelings better and knew how to manage them. When asked about the people he could turn to for support, he rated them as ‘great’. He felt safer.
