This week we announce the launch of our annual Little Box of Love at Christmas campaign❤️🎅

For the 7th year in a row staff and volunteers at Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies give of their own time to provide a little Christmas hope and cheer to children and parents in Inverclyde who do not have the means to provide presents, gifts or festive food to their families and where the cost of living crisis raises anxiety and worry for parents.
We aim to help reduce this stress by asking for kind donations from the generous Inverclyde community.

Please join us in our campaign to help deliver a little box or bag of Christmas love and hope to families that ourselves and/ or our network partners identify as most in need.

Last year we provided sustainance to over 200 families with over 600 gifts to children and parents identified by our colleagues in Social Work; Health; Education; and the 3rd Sector/ local charities. Please help us to do the same or even better again this year!

We will gratefully accept-
toys; baby and toddler clothes; teen gifts; children age 3- 12yrs gifts; sweets; board games; pyjamas; selection boxes; slippers; books; shopping vouchers; cash; christmas foods; toiletries; gift sets; dolls; sellotape; gift bags; wrapping paper; and so much more until the 12th December when our elves arrive to help pack and prepare all for Santa's delivery sleigh!
( Please note that we cannot accept pre-loved items- Thank you)

Donations can be delivered and gratefully accepted at our offices on the Ground floor, Ladyburn Business Centre, 20 Pottery Street, Greenock PA15 2UH or email us on children@mindmosaic.net

Shout out today with thanks to all of our colleagues and network partners- the hardworking Head Teachers, Depute Heads, Guidance Teachers, Principles, Class Teachers, Learning Assistants and Support Staff in Inverclyde🙌🏻❤️

🌍✨ Happy World Teachers’ Day! ✨🌍

As Play Therapists, we see every day how teachers go above and beyond — noticing the small changes, holding space for big feelings, and working hand-in-hand with us to create environments where children feel safe, seen and supported.

Your insight, patience, and willingness to collaborate help children’s therapeutic progress reach far beyond the playroom. Together, we build bridges between emotional wellbeing and learning, helping each child to grow in confidence, connection and joy. 🌱

So to every teacher — thank you for your compassion, curiosity, and commitment to understanding the whole child. You truly are partners in healing. 💚🍎

"I remember the first day I walked in to the therapy room and thinking what's this all about then? Toys? Sand pit? Paints, paper and pencils? wee family figures and doll's houses?...How is this going to work?"
I also remember the peace, the quiet, the Play Therapist who was always there at the same time same day in the same place and coming from a home where chaos was the norm there was something really good about how reliable that was...At the beginning I couldn't put what had happened to me that had brought me to therapy in to words- I didn't know how...she stayed with me though and never asked me direct questions or told me to think this or that- through the good, bad, and the days in the middle. Always using the materials and figures to tell my story and to communicate what was too unbearable to say...
Other people had tried to help in school and at other places but it became too hard to have to try to speak about it and if I'm honest I wasnt up for group stuff- not with people who I was seeing in the class or corridor every day- it was too hard.
As the weeks went by I began to trust this kind interested stranger in the therapy room who was there for me through all that I brought to the surface and as she helped me to recognise what I was feeling and she turned the mirror gently - I found the words that finally expressed shame, the family violence, childhood trauma, vulnerability and grief and as we worked through each of the difficulties she saved me.
My journey in Play Therapy had a beginning a middle and an end and I became equipped with the tools of survival, strategies to cope, and most important of all she helped me to accept that what had happened to me was not my fault.
Thank God for Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies in Inverclyde - the people there helped me to shift from a life that was on a downward spiral to being able to live my life to the full today"

Today marks the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are perfectly balanced before the nights slowly begin to grow longer. 🌞🌙

It’s a beautiful reminder to pause, reflect, and find balance in our own lives. Just as the leaves begin to change, it’s a season of letting go of what no longer serves us and embracing new beginnings. 🍁✨

Take a moment today to notice the beauty around you – the crisp air, golden leaves, and the promise of cosy evenings ahead.

What are you grateful for as we step into this new season? 🍃💛
