The Need
There is unprecedented demand for mental health and wellbeing support for families with young children.
​​​​
The NHS is overburdened, with 1 million children referred to mental health services every year. 40% never receive support
The NHS needs an accessible way to reduce waiting lists in young children before more serious conditions develop.
Schools say children starting school are showing significant delay in their emotional and behavioural development.
Schools need an off the shelf programme to teach emotional literacy at the same level as existing numeracy and literacy offers.
Families are unsupported, frustrated and turning to misleading advice.
Families need practical help to support their child’s emotional development that is appealing to their children and free of stigma.
who is Embers For?
Embers aims to assist all families with young children, with a focus on those aged aged 3-7. It's not just those facing mental health challenges, because every child can benefit from developing emotional literacy and resilience.
​
In order for young children to learn and remember great skills for their emotional health, everyone around them has to be working together. That is why we create content for children, their caregivers and their teachers.
Children learn through the world of Embers the Dragon. Led by an animated series, from which concepts are reinforced through off-screen games, reward systems and lesson plans.
Parents, educators and carers access supporting explanatory videos, as well as worksheets and at-home games that enable them to contribute to their children’s wellbeing.
​
Please be aware, that whilst the principles of Embers can be helpful for a wide range of children, Embers does not take the place of treatment for children in need of more specialist care or support.
