Cambridge Acorn Project

We offer therapeutic work to children and families, schools and communities, across Cambridgeshire who have experienced trauma or emotional distress.

The Cambridge Acorn Project aims to provide services and support to individuals and groups suffering from trauma or stresses which either do not meet the threshold for statutory involvement, or where there are no services currently available to offer support. In particular we aim to support children and their parents to cope with traumatic, stressful or emotionally difficult situations in order to improve well-being and future prospects. Our work uses an empathy based approach in which understanding and mutual respect are crucial in working together with those in need. We take a holistic view to encompass issues of social justice, such as poverty and deprivation. We are currently able to provide one to one therapeutic support and also offer consultancy and training on all aspects of empathic responses to stress and trauma.

Our Story

Cambridge Acorn Project aims to provide services and support to individuals and groups suffering from trauma and/or emotional distress. In particular we aim to support children and their parents or carers to cope with traumatic, stressful or emotionally difficult situations in order to improve well-being and future prospects. Our work uses an empathy based approach in which understanding, trust and mutual respect are crucial in working together with those in need. We take a holistic view to encompass issues of social justice, such as poverty and deprivation. We offer 1:1 work, joint/family work, ‘structural’ (environmental) work and advocacy and we are currently piloting a number of projects, including a project which uses the video game Tetris to help reduce emotional distress. In 2019, we are hoping to pilot an innovative approach to community work entitled ‘Empathetic Communities’ and we are waiting on the outcome of a Stage 2 funding application with the Big Lottery Fund for this piece of work.
