Every child's life matters!

📣📣𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡🔔🔔

At 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, we believe that when families are supported, children grow up safer, healthier, and more resilient—and that is su***de prevention in action.

The 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 shows us how strong families protect not just children, but also parents and communities:

🔑Parental Resilience – Parents who can manage stress are better able to model hope and coping skills.

🔑Social Connections – A strong support system reduces isolation, one of the key risks for depression and su***de.

🔑Knowledge of Parenting & Child Development – Understanding children’s needs helps create safe, nurturing spaces where mental health can thrive.

🔑Concrete Support in Times of Need – Access to food, shelter, healthcare, and counseling prevents crises from overwhelming families.

🔑Social & Emotional Competence of Children – When children learn to express emotions and problem-solve, they grow into adults better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

Su***de prevention starts with connection, care, and support. By strengthening families, we give children and parents the tools they need to face life’s hardest moments—and the hope to keep going.

Together, let’s protect children, support parents, and build communities where every life matters.

Play Therapy is an effective and powerful tool in helping children process, and find healing from their grief. In some countries, certain play therapists specialise in grief and loss cases, working for hospitals or charities that support children going through loss.

𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗙 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬

Grief is not only about losing someone we love. Sometimes, it’s about losing versions of ourselves; the child who once dreamed, the teenager full of hope, the person we used to be.

The Ridleys capture this beautifully in Looking For:

“All I carry with me are these memories intact
It’s hard to move on when I’m stuck in the past.”

There is a quiet kind of grief in remembering who we once were and realizing we can’t go back. Growing up means carrying those memories, sometimes with joy, often with a heaviness that reminds us of the chapters already closed.

On this National Grief Awareness Day, may we recognize that grief is not only tied to death; it is also tied to change. To the people we’ve outgrown, to the versions of ourselves that time has taken away, to the dreams we had to leave behind.

And that’s okay. Grief, in all its forms, is valid. Healing is not about erasing the past, but learning how to carry it with compassion for ourselves.

💙 You are not alone in your grief.

Play Therapists and Therapeutic Play Practitioners use the Goodman's SDQ score - Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to assess the child's level of needs. Those over a score of 21 will need a fully qualified Play Therapist, ideally. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with this questionnaire and maybe even try it out with the children in your care - it might help you identify those who need extra emotional support and mental health care. Thank you to the Sensible SENCO for this great video! SENsible SENCO
