Support for Parents & Carers

Supporting a child through their mental health journey can feel overwhelming, and it’s completely natural to worry when you want them to be safe, healthy and happy.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, reassurance, practical tools or simply a place to understand what your child might be going through, you can find helpful information here designed to support you.

What Is The Sandbox?

The Sandbox, part of Mindler, is an innovative digital mental healthcare service for Children and Young People from ages 5 to 25.

Mental health struggle is something most of us will experience at some point in our lives – it’s simply part of being human. We're here for you when that happens.

We work together with the NHS, local government, and other organisations to help Children and Young People with their mental health.

When Worry Becomes Overwhelm: Understanding Health Anxiety About Your Child

A certain level of concern about your child is normal. But when worry becomes constant, intrusive, or starts to shape the way you parent, it may be a sign that anxiety is taking the wheel. And that can affect not only you, but your whole family.

Body Image & Self-Esteem 🌟

Many young people tell us they spend a lot of time worrying about how they look, doubting their worth, or feeling like they’re falling short in some way. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Relationships 🫂👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Relationships are a big part of everyday life as they shape how we feel about others and how we see ourselves. We build relationships with friends, family, peers, mentors, partners, people online, and within our communities. Each one plays a different role in our lives.
