10/05/2026

It is with great pleasure and very much excitement that we are delighted to announce that Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies has been awarded £500,000 -5 years funding from the Fairer Life Chances Fund of the National Lottery!🙌🏻💫🙌🏻

This multi year funding will allow us to scale up our services focused on the whole family unit via our new Family Minds project, enabling us to provide a wide range of activities that will aim to improve family dynamics such as peer support groups for isolated parents and infant groups focusing on the attachment between parent and child.
Grateful thanks to the National Lottery for this fantastic opportunity and the largest fund we have ever received that will allow us to expand our range of supports to Inverclyde parents and children.

We have the best staff team and Board of Trustees in place ever- and from all at our base in Ladyburn Business Centre in Pottery Street we are ready to deliver the best service to our Inverclyde Community of whom we are proud to be part of.

Very good explanation of some of the reasons why children are referred for Play Therapy .....at our base in Ladyburn Business Centre, Pottery Street, we have 5 highly experienced, fully qualified and skilled Play Therapists who see children in a confidential therapeutic space as we support them toward good outcomes and improved mental health and wellbeing ❤️

Traumatic experiences can have a significant and lasting impact on a child’s developing brain, nervous system and sense of safety. Children who have experienced trauma may remain in a state of hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm or shutdown long after the event has passed.

Their behaviour may communicate distress in ways that are often misunderstood, such as aggression, withdrawal, controlling behaviours, dissociation or difficulties with relationships and trust.

Trauma is not stored only as words and memories. It is often held within the body, sensory experiences and the nervous system. Because of this, children may struggle to verbally explain what has happened to them or how they feel about it.

Play Therapy is particularly effective for traumatised children because it allows experiences to be processed through play, sensory expression, creativity and the therapeutic relationship rather than relying purely on conversation. Symbolic play can help children safely express and make sense of difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed by directly retelling them.

Neuroscience and attachment theory both highlight the importance of safe, attuned relationships in supporting healing following trauma. Within Play Therapy, the consistent therapeutic relationship can help children begin to rebuild trust, increase feelings of safety and develop healthier ways of regulating emotions and relating to others.

After many years of building a robust, ethical, trusted and reputable child and family mental health and wellbeing organisation and Charity from its inception to where it is now- well established in the heart of the Inverclyde community- it is always a joy to hear of the progress of Play Therapists who received practice placements, Supervision, learning and employment, at Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies and as they journey forward on their own path taking with them a wealth of skill acquired from the hands of our experience.

It has been a pleasure to support 3 very competent
and passionate practitioners and potential self employment enquirers in recent weeks to tap in to our rich experience, extensive skill base, ethical and congruent practice, wealth of resources, network partners, business acumen, and via face to face discussion- to support people who are equally passionate about our profession - and because we are committed to sharing our best qualities and high standards with others as we share knowledge, education and support to take the first step to success - all at no financial cost to themselves.

Paying it forward.... it's who we are and where we start from....always😊🫶

😁💯🙌🏻

The link between laughter and mental health

Laughter stops distressing emotions. You can’t feel anxious, angry, or sad when you’re laughing.

Laughter helps you relax and recharge. It reduces stress and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more.

Laughter shifts perspective, allowing you to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light. A humorous perspective creates psychological distance, which can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed and diffuse conflict.

Laughter draws you closer to others, which can have a profound effect on all aspects of your mental and emotional health.

www.helpguide.org

In Play Therapy the therapist understands the importance of play, humour and laughter in creating positive effects within the therapeutic relationship. Playfulness and laughter can reduce barriers to connection, build trust and are emotionally regulating.

Over the next 2 weeks we will support 4 of our students as they complete their professional placements and University degrees during their time with Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies .
It has been an absolute pleasure to have got to know them particularly in the past year during their practice and via the clinical supervision we provide. How lovely to observe their development during this time and the nicest thing of all that most of them have confirmed that they will continue to volunteer time with us as they put Inverclyde children and parents at the forefront of their thinking.
Good ethical practice, gaining experience, good character- honest, transparent and clear thinking - what a team! 🥰
