Here at Calm Connections, we offer a wide range of services to support families in our local community. Our services are designed to support the whole family and are delivered by a team of coaches and mentors, many with lived experience of supporting not only children and young people with mental health issues, but also their families and carers.

If you need further information, please use the contact form here or email info@calmconnections.org

How to work with us

One-to-One coaching and mentoring (fixed price services)

These are currently paid services at a standard price of £60 per hour. It’s important to note that we pay all our freelance coaches and mentors a standard rate of £50, ensuring they are paid fairly for their skills. As a CIC, we ensure that any profit from these sessions goes back into offering services to those who are less able to afford the costs, helping as many families as we can.  

The team at Calm Connections provides parents, carers and young people with 1:1, face-to-face or online sessions, offering information, guidance and support on a wide range of challenges that families can face.  Each member of the team has a unique skill set, which allows us to support you in the following areas: 

• NVR (for children and young people who harm themselves or others) 

• Early Years Specialist

• Compassion and Trauma-Informed Coaching 

• Youth Mindfulness Coach

• Behaviour Support

• Youth Connect 5 trainer

Group Sessions (pay what you feel it’s worth)

 We appreciate that not everyone can afford to pay for 1:1 coaching and mentoring, so we also offer a range of pay-what-you-can group sessions, which include help and support around our children's challenges and aspects of wellbeing for us as parents.  

We hold various sessions on topics including:  

• Children and young people’s mental health

• Neurodiversity

• Wellbeing

• Parent/Carer self-care

These are donation-based, where possible, to cover the cost of the meeting tools we use. To find out more about these sessions, please click here

Free Sessions!

From time to time (depending on funding), we offer a free monthly drop-in in Stretford, where you can meet and speak to some of our team to find out what service would work best for you and your family. All of our group sessions and free drop-in sessions are listed on our home page.

We regularly share information on our Facebook page, which may also be useful to you and your family. 

Please Note

We are applying for funding to support those who can't currently access paid services, so please get in touch if you would like to be considered in the near future or if you have any other questions.
