Mental health and wellbeing: advice and support

hatch

hatch is for children aged 8-16yrs, looking for early help and support for emotional wellbeing, worry, generalised low to moderate anxiety, low mood and depression.

Hatch offer three skills-based programmes; including CBT principles, mindfulness and weekly tasks to be completed at home. Programmes are designed to develop an understanding of self, our thoughts and emotions, and equip children with the skills and tools they need to make positive changes and build resilience.

A programme will be allocated to each child based on their needs, age and emotional understanding.

The programmes are delivered by our team of wellbeing coaches and volunteer mentors who are trained in delivering them. Children will be paired with a mentor who they will work with weekly throughout the programme. Typically, children will access between 6 and 8 weeks of 1-1 support.

Families and young people must be willing and able to travel each week to Hatch’s site in Birkenhead. There are train and bus routes close by; Hamilton Square and Argyle Street.
Parents/carers must be open to telephone communication and commit to responding to communication from the team.
Children must be willing to engage with the sessions, work with their mentor and be open to practicing the skills taught throughout the programme.
Sessions run for between 6 to 8 weeks, on the same day and time each week.
All children and parents/carers are invited and must attend an initial visit. This will be arranged via a telephone call.
Parental consent is required for all children accessing the service.

SEND

Although we do our best to make the service as accessible as possible, we’re not able to provide specific support for challenges presented by young people with ASD and ADHD or offer guidance on managing those behaviours.
