Improving children's mental health. Improving children's lives.
Information and Support
For Parents, Professionals and Children
Toucan for Children supports children and young people who are experiencing emotional difficulties in their lives through providing therapeutic services using play and creative arts. Based in Gloucestershire we offer play therapy at our centre in Mitcheldean and outreach work in schools.
​
Mental health problems affect 1 in 10 children and young people, which may result in depression, anxiety and often conduct disorder. The team of therapists at Toucan offer children a safe place to explore and work-through those feelings and behaviours that are causing upset and difficulties in their lives.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I am a mother of three children who have attended Toucan. My experience with Toucan has been fantastic! My children have benefited greatly from their sessions and thus have been able to deal with their emotional difficulties after the breakdown of our family.
Mother
I have found the staff to be very friendly and easy to talk to; they have not only supported my children but given myself an great deal of emotional support too! Thank you to all of you.
Mother
I have found the therapeutic input from Toucan has really helped the young people we look after. It gives them space to deal with some of the confusing things that have happened to them and makes life a bit clearer. It is a brilliant, excellent and an essential resource.
