What IS Embers?
​Parenting is one of the most challenging tasks any of us is likely to take on - and one with no instruction manual! It is so much more than keeping children fed and clothed - it’s about understanding and meeting their emotional as well as physical needs. ​
Embers was set up to develop good mental health and emotional resilience in children in their early childhood and to help their families when tackling common parenting challenges.

The Animations
Young children learn through stories and play, so our animated stories have been at the heart of Embers the Dragon Programme from the outset.
​
The films engage children in the world of Embers and his friends through fun and imaginative storytelling, with each episode clinically constructed around different emotions and situations. Drawn into the magical world of Embers the Dragon and his friends, children laugh and learn with the characters as they navigate their feelings.
​
These stories can be watched as standalone films, each of which will cover a specific topic linked to mental wellbeing and child development. Or, they can be integrated with additional resources and plans, forming a wider programme of learning. This full programme can be commissioned by schools, but see below for our publically available Free Courses.

Free Courses
Our courses, centred around the animated series of Embers the Dragon, are based on clinical best practice and serve as a one stop shop for resources, lesson plans, activities and expert advice – all grouped into an easy to follow pathway.
​
Each one explores key areas of childhood development, as well as pertinent issues that may arise in wider society. We are always considering new programmes based on areas that real families have told us are hard, or that reflect current difficulties we are all experiencing.
​
They have been clinically proven to not only boost child resilience, but also reduce parental anxiety. They can be used by families, teachers and healthcare professionals alike.
​
The full programme is currently avaible to be used by schools, and we are shortly releasing an app for individual parent use to. In the meantime these courses are available free of charge:
