We support parents and carers during challenging times and guide the family and young person towards a brighter, more hopeful future.
HOPE offers a compassionate approach to providing advice, guidance and comfort to the wider family, including parents, siblings and grandparents affected by this growing nationwide crisis.
We aim to connect services and people, remove the stigma attached to mental health issues in young people and promote recovery and change through education, information, coaching and creative distraction.

Who we help
We help support the whole family throughout their journey. Please see the examples below of how we can come alongside specific individuals within the family.
Year 6 to year 7 transition
HOPE Charity Project can work with children who are in year 6, who will be transitioning to senior school, through early intervention. They could be experiencing difficulty with emotional regulation, displaying traits of particular behaviours (which could be an undiagnosed disorder) or are currently exposed to various challenging circumstances where they could be vulnerable to early mental health issues.
Young people
HOPE is a place where any young person will be welcomed. You will be seen, heard and listened to, whatever you are feeling or going through. We have various options for communication, professionally lead therapeutic support, advice, guidance and creativity based social groups, all to be explored with you in your own time.
HOPE offers a place for you to be able to reach out if you’re going through a difficult time. We would love to hear from you and offer our support. We’re here to help you, bringing hope through listening, 1-1 coaching, individual and group therapy, and creative arts.
Mums
We are here to listen to you and your concerns, and offer emotional support, guidance and connect you to community at this time of uncertainty.
Dads
Men can often find it hard to open up and share their feelings, as well as having fewer options and opportunities to share what they are going through at home. We believe it's important to give them a space to express how they feel in confidence, with others who are able to relate and share support at this time.
Siblings
When a sensitive situation unfolds within a family, siblings who are not directly involved can often feel overlooked and unsettled. To prevent further difficulties, it's crucial to provide these siblings with a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings. By giving them a voice, we ensure that everyone feels heard, valued and supported.
Grandparents and extended family
When a young person is struggling with their emotions it can affect the whole family. Often it is beneficial to encourage everyone to have a better understanding of the situation, and we believe communication is key to resolving unsettled emotions. This can help everyone to move forward together and improve relationships and happiness within the family.
