Funding from The Pixel fund will enable us to provide an emotionally sensitive package of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Our approach, whilst providing the structure of cognitive behavioural therapy and a focus on changing thoughts and behaviours, also provides the opportunity for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, allowing an understanding of the emotional part of their experience in addition to the cognitive.
Funding will provide and assessment and up to six sessions of therapy for a minimum of 18 children and young people who are referred to our trust.
The CLD Trust is a small innovative mental health and wellbeing trust based in Herefordshire. Each year we receive over 1200 referrals from GP’s and other health professionals for children and young people to receive therapeutic help for their worries, concerns and distress.
Presentations are wide ranging and include, abuse, anxiety, depression, low mood, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
With poor mental health and distress, children and young people can be significantly impacted on in their everyday lives, preventing achievement, attainment, healthy relationships and good physical health.
