Children’s emotional wellbeing is still in crisis. In fact, the crisis is far from over for thousands of children.
Poor emotional wellbeing filters into all aspects of a child’s life, affecting their ability to learn, their relationships, their development, even their physical health.
The Omicron variant has caused yet more chaos throughout children’s lives, both at school and at home. Restrictions may have been lifted, but the impact will continue for many years to come. Without proper support, children struggling today will continue to feel the consequences for the rest of their lives. But that doesn’t have to be the case.
We need your help to make this crisis a thing of the past! When you increase your Hope Giver donations, your generous monthly gifts will spread hope where it’s needed most, transforming children’s lives and helping to end this brutal crisis.
Marcel's Story
Marcel’s transition to secondary school did not go smoothly. He experienced several fixed term exclusions for persistent disruption, which resulted in Marcel being placed into a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU).“However, the staff at the unit said the challenges Marcel faced meant he needed specialist help and support. They sent him home,” says Linda, one of Marcel’s teachers at TLG.
“I found it hard to focus and I was distracted,” Marcel reminisces. “I would get sent out or put in isolation, but I found lessons difficult and I struggled to understand. Then I got kicked out of school for a long time.”
Before he eventually received an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis, Marcel faced bullying and physical attacks. Linda continues, “The PRU decided they would teach Marcel online while they decided where the best place for him to be was. Due to the pandemic, Marcel ended up spending 18 months online at home without interaction with his peers.”
Marcel was eventually referred to a TLG Education Centre.
We must urgently join together today to make this wellbeing crisis a thing of a past.
In the depths of this unprecedented crisis, we’re not giving up. We are determined to reach struggling children with our transformative therapeutic support, to go the long distance alongside children as they recover from effects of the pandemic. No child should be left in crisis, with no way out.
