Mission

Skilled and experienced volunteer child mental health and education practitioners are trained in the UK and overseas to lead our work. They train local mental health professionals and others working closely with child victims of trauma, together with their families and communities, to relieve the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and tackle the wider mental health consequences of violence and conflict.  We also support individuals who work in areas where children have suffered, or continue to suffer widespread trauma, and provide additional support where necessary through our ‘special projects’.
