For Mental Health
According to the NHS Digital, 1 in 6 children age five to sixteen were identified as having a probably mental health problem in July 2021. This is a huge increase from 1 in 9 in 2017. This is five children in every classroom.
At ASK PIP Charity, we have found that it is important to incorporate counselling with education, because of how difficult it can be for a child or young person to learn if they are siliently struggling with their mental health.
Nearly half of 17 to 19 years old with a diagnosable mental health disorder has self harmed or attempted suicide at some ppoint, rising to 52% for young females (NHS Digital 2018).
Counselling is not always afforable by everyone, at ASK PIP Charity, we aim to provide free or subsidised counselling for families from low income households, and for children in care and children in need.
All our therapists are qualified and registered with The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) or any reputable professional body.
