MindJam - Emotional and SEN support for young people through gaming, game design and digital skills.

MindJam provides online 1-to-1 mentoring and guidance for young people, supporting emotional wellbeing, SEN needs and confidence through positive, non-judgemental and low-demand sessions. We also help young people build greater online awareness and safety.

MindJam acts as a nucleus for re-engagement: a safe centre point from which young people can begin to reconnect with learning, relationships and the wider world. By meeting young people where they are, and building outwards with patience and understanding, we help them rediscover confidence, purpose and joy.

Support is shaped around each young person’s interests. Sessions might involve playing Fortnite, Minecraft or Roblox, or developing digital skills such as game design, 3D design, digital art, animation, music editing or video editing. Whatever the activity, the focus remains the same: supporting emotional wellbeing.

Our mentors are experienced and trained in supporting neurodivergent young people, including autistic young people and those with PDA, ADHD, anxiety, stress and trauma.

MindJam is proud to be a trusted and approved provision for many local authorities across the UK, working with families, schools, specialist provisions, health professionals and the NHS.

What a bloody farce!
Yes, in some car parks blue badge holders do you have to pay but you have to make the machines accessible!

This!!
One the biggest issues I have with the SEND white paper is that they don’t address fundamental issues faced in mainstream settings the environment and class sizes!!

You can rename it.
You can reshape it.
You can wrap it in policy language.
But if the system still expects children to fit it…
Nothing has really changed.
