This week for Children’s Mental Health Week 2026, we are reflecting on the theme “This is My Place.” At Alcedo Care, we believe that for a child to truly thrive, they need to feel at home - not just in their houses, but in their communities.
Our children & young people’s services are designed to help make that a reality. We go beyond home care, supporting children with complex needs, learning disabilities and physical challenges to step out into the world and find their "place."
Finding "my place" through social outings & activities: Mental health is bolstered by social connection and confidence. That’s why our support includes:
🏊 Active fun: Accompanying children to swimming sessions and youth groups.
🏖️ Community connection: Supported trips to the beach, local parks and play centres.
🛍️ Building independence: Help with socialising in group settings, shopping trips and community hobbies.
When a child is supported to participate in the activities they love, their sense of belonging grows and their mental health flourishes.
We are proud to support the systems around children - parents, families, and schools - to ensure every young person we care for can confidently say, “This is my place.”
