Blue Smile is a leading children’s mental health charity in Cambridgeshire dedicated to transforming the life chances of young people through expert, arts based therapy and counselling in local schools. We provide a ‘whole school’ approach for mental wellbeing, with one to one arts based therapy for children aged 3 to 13 and a Menu of Services program, including workshops for groups of children and staff, teacher and parent support. We work using proven arts based therapies which engage the child in a non-threatening way, helping them to organise their feelings and process traumatic experiences. So far our highly skilled therapists and mentors have helped over 1,200 children to be happier and feel better.
