About Seedlings
If you feel a Primary school-aged child may need to speak to a Seedlings therapist in school, we recommend in the first instance speaking to the school’s mental health lead to find out if a child’s school accesses the Seedlings service.
If your school does not have a Seedlings service you can refer a child to be seen in a YPAS community hub by contacting clinical admin on 0151 707 1025.
How will this service help me?
Seedlings is a creative therapy service for Liverpool’s primary schools. We work with children to explore and process feelings that are troubling them and develop confidence in expressing themselves. This CAMHS service is funded by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside and schools directly. Sometimes when children are growing up, changes at home or school can be difficult to deal with.
The Seedlings team supports the emotional needs of children allowing them to develop, grow, and build their resilience. Difficult feelings can affect relationships with important people in our lives, when these feelings are expressed in therapy they become easier to understand and make sense of.
