🌱 "A Child’s Voice" workbook programme Facilitator Training

Empower. Support. Prevents. Save Lives.

Every day, more children are showing signs of emotional distress—through anxiety, withdrawal, self-harm, or even suicidal thoughts. But too often, the adults around them don’t know how to respond.​

A Child’s Voice, developed by The Life Matters children and team, is a trauma-informed, child-led self healing, early intervention programme designed to give children aged 8–18 a safe space to explore emotions and be heard before a crisis escalates.
