Mighty Minds is The Village Health’s signature group program designed to help children understand their emotions, build confidence, and learn practical tools for managing worries, overwhelm, and busy brains. In a safe, playful, strengths-focused environment, kids discover that others feel just like they do, and that connection is one of the most powerful ingredients in growth.

In this workshop for parents you can connect with others who are going through similar challenges.

Trauma-Informed Care is an approach that recognises the widespread impact of trauma and emphasises the importance of creating safe, supportive environments. It involves understanding the signs and symptoms of trauma, avoiding re-traumatisation, and fostering resilience, independence and recovery.

Assertiveness is the ability to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs openly and honestly while respecting the rights of others. It’s about finding the balance between being too passive and too aggressive, allowing you to advocate for yourself in a positive and constructive manner.

Mindfulness and meditation have been proven to offer numerous benefits for both mental and physical health. By practicing mindfulness, you learn to be fully present, aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Meditation provides a space for focus and self-reflection, helping to reduce anxiety, improve concentration, and resilience.

For many children, understanding social cues, making and keeping friends, and feeling comfortable in social settings can be challenging. Developing these skills is essential for building self-esteem, creating meaningful relationships, and achieving success in both school and everyday life.
