For some children, saying “I’m not okay” can feel impossible.

They may not know how to put their pain into words. They may withdraw, lash out, or keep what they’re feeling to themselves. And sometimes, they may express thoughts of self-harm or su***de.

This , let’s remind ourselves that we don’t need to have all the answers. We can start by listening, asking the difficult questions and taking our children’s feelings seriously.

Head to bit.ly/3BI223y to read our full guide for practical advice on recognising the signs, starting difficult conversations with your child, and knowing when and where to seek professional help.

Designed with sensory and motor development in mind, the gym features swings, a zip slider, trampoline, a calm room, a private room and more.

But perhaps what really makes this space special is its belief that all children deserve a place to belong and play together. 🫶
