Rural Remedies
Rural Remedies recognises that the Covid 19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on young people. We aim to support you in becoming the young person you want to be.
We offer 1-1 and small group sessions for children aged 9 to 13 using animal-based therapy and the outdoor environment.
Why is it easy to ask for help when struggling with a physical challenge but hard to reach out for support when your well-being and mental health decline? We may miss the signs our bodies and brains send us. Do you feel sad, angry, or lonely? Do you find it hard to get to sleep, wake in the night or sleep more than before? Do you find it difficult to concentrate, get headaches or has your appetite changed? Do you no longer want to socialise with friends and family? Is your behaviour getting you in trouble or putting you or others at risk of harm? Do you feel these difficulties were triggered by Covid 19 pandemic or heightened during lockdown? If this is you, It is time to say I am not ok, remembering its ok to struggle. What is not ok is hiding your worries and not looking after your mental health.
My name is Claire, I started supporting children and young people in 1998. I have worked with children of all ages and in various settings. Evidence has shown us that time spent in rural spaces with animals and nature can help improve how we feel, reduce feelings of stress and anger, and improve self-esteem through a sense of belonging, community, and achievement (Mind,2023). I will with the help of the animals work and walk alongside you at a pace that you feel comfortable with and help you implement strategies to get you back to the young person you want to be.
What to expect when you are here:
- To be heard, your voice matters. We want to know what you think and feel so we know how to support you.
- To belong, you will be welcomed to The Future Roots community
- To build resilience through problem-solving and achievements
- To develop self-regulation and support strategies to help you understand and manage your emotions.
- To have fun and forget your worries for a while
- To be in a natural environment
- To spend time with large and small animals
