đź’śCongratulations Helen Morrisđź’ś
“I am Helen and live and work in Southport.
I am currently delivering Relax Kids through my work at as an intervention worker for the therapy team at Sefton Family Hubs.
I was trained by Marneta 15 years ago. Myself and 2 colleagues were sent by the Council and we were reluctant attendees. However ,we soon became passionate about delivering Relax Kids when we saw the impact it had on children.
I was also on the first cohort to be trained in Baby Mindful – a programme that delivers the Relax Kids steps to babies 0-24 months.
I have delivered Relax Kids privately and through my work at Sefton and to be honest l do not know how many children, teenagers and adults have attended my sessions. There have been so many over the last 15 years. Kerry Parkinson and l have delivered sessions in halls, classrooms, nurseries, homes, parks and one summer during Seftons HAF offer in a tent.
Relax Kids has been the perfect programme to support children after local and national tragedies.
Anything is possible with Relax Kids and at times it has been powerful and overwhelming. Kristen Robinson and l delivered a session to Safie Roussos’s class after the Manchester bombing.
More recently Relax Kids has been part of Seftons response to the heartbreaking incident in Southport last July.
Giving children and young people the emotional tools to help them navigate through these difficult times.
I really can’t think of another programme that is flexible enough to be used in so many ways to improve children’s emotional wellbeing.”
