Teresa, one of our amazing Connect-Ed therapists, spoke to us about the importance of having therapists in schools and the positive impact they can have, not just on individual children, but on the whole school community. #mentalhealthinschools

Following #WorldMentalHealthDay, James’ story reminds us what the right support can mean to a young person. Working with his CCS counsellor helped him build friendships, confidence and resilience, and reach a point where he knew he would be okay.

Last week, our Connect-Ed therapists came together for a training day to develop their practice and discuss some of the important issues the young people they work with may be facing, as they prepare for the new school year. #ConnectEd #Therapy #MentalHealthInSchool

Changes can feel overwhelming, especially for children who are already facing challenges at home. Through our work with schools and teachers, we help children build confidence and emotional resilience before small worries become bigger challenges. #ConnectEdRise

The Assumption reminds us of hope. God calls each of us to share in His eternal life. Mary's complete trust in God and her loving care for others continue to inspire us in our mission to support children, young people and families facing hardship. #AssumptionOfMary

A day at the beach. Building sand castles. These moments may seem small, but for many children they can mean everything. For Noah and his sisters, this day by the sea became a treasured family memory when they needed it most. Every child deserves happy memories to look back on.

For many of us, childhood memories are filled with family days out, beach trips and adventures that felt ordinary at the time. For some children, those opportunities are out of reach. Every child deserves the chance to explore, play and simply enjoy being a child. #FamilySupport

That is why we do what we do. Connect-Ed Rise is about helping schools create environments where more children feel supported, understood and able to thrive. Thank you to everyone who supports our work. Together, we're helping more children get the support they need.

Who supports the people supporting our children? Teachers are often the first to notice when a child is struggling, yet many are balancing growing wellbeing needs alongside their core role in education. At CCS, we're passionate about supporting the adults who support children.

Read about how St Francis Nursery and Family Centre helped Noah go from anxious and withdrawn to a joyful, confident four-year-old in our Summer Appeal below. cathchild.org.uk/summer_appe… #StFrancisFamilyCentre #EarlyIntervention #FamilySupport #CommunityImpact

Nursery became more than a place to learn for this family. With personalised support and close partnership, their son felt safe, included, and grew in confidence. Early intervention helps families feel that they belong. #StFrancisNurseryandFamilyCentre #EarlyIntervention
