What is Seedlings?
Therapeutic services based in Liverpool’s primary schools and YPAS community hubs allowing the child to speak to a Seedling therapist.
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 speak to the school’s mental health lead to find out if a child’s school accesses the Seedlings service.
Alternatively you can contact our Clinical Admin team directly on 0151 707 1025 to make a referral for a child to be seen outside of school within one of our community hubs across the city.
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 Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group and schools directly. Sometimes when children are growing up, changes at home or at school can be difficult to deal with.
The Seedlings team support the emotional needs of children allowing them to develop, grow and to build their resilience. Difficult feelings can affect relationships with important people in our lives, when these feelings are expressed in therapy it becomes easier to understand and make sense of.
