Recovery programmes for children and young people

Monkey Bob

Our Do You Feel What I Feel? toolkit is designed for professionals working with Early Years (up to the age of 8). The toolkit includes Monkey Bob – a friendly, likeable character who can help younger children to open up when they’re likely to be struggling with what they’re feeling inside. It also covers Early Years safety planning: www.monkeybob.org.uk

Even Better

We have a range of tools and resources from our Even Better (8–12 and 13+ years) series to share with professionals supporting young people. Our work includes short intervention for parents and children following domestic abuse. Topics include safety planning, trauma recovery, anger management, communication, healthy relationships, communication and building resilience.

For more complex cases, where no other help is available, we can arrange help through one-to-one support and a specialist service called iCreate: www.monkeybob.org.uk

Tandem

Tandem is a behaviour management intervention toolkit for children and parents. The toolkit is designed for professionals working with young people (aged 12–21) and parents & carers who need help managing conflict in their relationship with their parents or other primary caregivers: www.actonitnow.org.uk

Teen Relationship Abuse

We know that people aged 16–25 are more vulnerable when it comes to abusive relationships. That's why we work closely with young people to help them understand what healthy relationships look like – and to spot the early warning signs when relationships become unhealthy or abusive.

At My CWA, we have a range of relationship resources that professionals and parents & carers can use with young people.

If you’re a professional working with teens & young people – whether you’re in education, medicine, social services or another related field – you’ll find guidance & resources on our Act on it Now website to help you talk about healthy, unhealthy & harmful relationships with the young people you meet: www.actonitnow.org.uk
