Hi and Welcome from Nadia and Grace, we are the founders of Growing Thriving Minds (GTM). 

Between us, we have worked in several services both private, public and nonprofit sector. This includes working within Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) both in the community crisis teams and inpatient Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (PICUS's) and social services with over 15 years of experience.
 
We are aware of the lack of provisions and support available for young people who are experiencing an early onset of mental health issues. The waiting list has a minimum wait of several months and the unattainable threshold which means that often young people fall between the gap and then present in a crisis situation - this highlights the need for an early intervention service such as ours.

                                                                            Why the need for GTM:
We offer early intervention for young people struggling with mental health difficulties, substance misuse, child sexual exploitation, online safety, self esteem, self identity issues and school refusal. We cover Buckinghamshire and Berkshire for young people aged between 11-18. We offer face to face sessions  which are confidential, conducive and in a safe atmosphere for the young person to feel comfortable to be open and honest. 

GTM will ensure that children are seen as early as possible for an assessment which then allows us to provide a tailor made and person-centred intervention which addresses the specific needs of the young person. 

                           We are here to help you grow through what you go through; to thrive not just to survive.
