Time 4 Children is dedicated to improving the emotional well-being of Mid Sussex children of primary school age. We provide free 1:1 weekly sessions to support emotionally vulnerable children who are struggling to deal with and express their feelings, experiences and worries. Children are referred to us for a variety of reasons - family breakdown, family substance mis-use, anxiety, parental mental health issues, Special educational needs (SEN) and domestic violence and are referred by schools, family support workers and social workers in the Mid Sussex area.
We aim to help prevent emotionally vulnerable children referred to Time4Children, from developing established mental health problems later in life.
Our service is provided by trained volunteer practitioners, who undergo a 12 week training course in reflective listening and non-directive play and receive continuous support and supervision.
