Great Minds Together support children and young people with special educational needs and social, emotional and mental health needs as well as their families and the professional networks around them.
Our organisation exists to prevent one of the three following elements:
Unnecessary Police Intervention
Where possible, prevention of children entering the care system by supporting families in an intensive way to ensure positive outcomes
Outreach
Our Outreach service is a free service for families that need support navigating the complex SEND, Mental Health, Education, Housing and Social Care systems. Our team deliver 1:1 interventions, bespoke to each individual young person whilst also providing crucial wraparound support for their families.
Tier 3.5 Therapeutic Intervention Programme
The Great Minds Together Tier 3.5 Programme is a specialist therapeutic intervention specifically delivered to prevent wrongful hospitalisation and unnecessary police intervention / wrongful criminalisation for young people with additional needs (including tier 4 step down).
Autism Central
Great Minds Together are able to offer family members, carers and personal assistants of autistic children and adults a variety of group and individual sessions. These will focus on meeting the needs of autistic people and on signposting to local and national services.
Resources
Use our website to find our library of videos, resources and downloads ranging from mental health workbooks to homeschooling timetables. As well as creating our own workbooks and activities, we have been researching and reviewing resources, sites and apps to be able to recommend them to our parents. Rather than having a specific academic focus these activities aim to be fun, engaging, inclusive and to focus on your child or young person’s strengths, abilities and life skills so works very well for parents of children who have additional communication, social, emotional and/ or learning needs.
The age range of the young people we can support is 0 to 25 years old. There is no age range for support to their families.
Our services are delivered in various locations, please contact us for further details.
These services are free to access
