oosting your child’s
emotional webeing
through creative workshops...
‘Braver, stronger & more resourceful’, that’s
how children feel when they attend creative
school workshops created by Magic Minds.
Magic Minds is the new addition to the Supporting
Minds family founded 3 years ago in Lincoln by
Jenine Butroid.
The new contracts they have with schools allow
them to deliver awareness workshops with a craft
element. Themes include; anxiety, grief & loss, selfesteem,
emotions & self-care. They’re also able to
offer affordable 1:1 counselling for their pupils.
Jenine, a psychotherapist and trained nurse
says: “The aim of SM has always been to provide
affordable counselling to adults and couples;
now, under the Magic Minds brand we are helping
pupils across the county boost their self-belief and
emotional wellbeing.”
A spokesperson from the award winning Spilsby
Primary Academy says: “Our children’s welfare
is extremely important to us so we are working in
collaboration with experts, trainers and counsellors
at Supporting Minds.”
EDUCATION
Magic Minds
“Several of our children were being failed by the
‘Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services’
so we decided that our school would provide
these services.”
“Not only does it assist those children in need
of support but it also makes a difference to
the classroom environment as a whole, one
notably the levels of anxiety associated with the
transition to secondary school.”
“The workshops have very much been written
in as a toolkit to provide the children with
strategies and to make them braver, more
resourceful, less anxious and believe in
themselves.”
Anna-Jo Keenan, 35, recently attended a ‘Grief
and loss’ workshop at Supporting Minds, she
said: “Shayla, my five-year-old daughter lost
her Grandma last year and has lots of questions
about where she is. When we left, I asked
Shayla if she enjoyed the workshop. She said,
“Can we do this all the time Mummy, I love it!”
In the car, Shayla was quiet, usually, I’m faced
with a journey of twenty questions at a million
miles an hour! I asked if she was okay. She said,
“Yes, I’m just thinking about the workshop.” Her
questions had all been answered that day.”
“Braver, stronger
and more
resourceful
minds.”
We offer emotional well-being
workshops looking after young
minds at school and home by
trained psychotherapists with
a fun, crafty, learning element.
