Coleen has delivered the Fresh Minds Education Amber Programme in several schools and across a wide range of year groups. While it shares similarities with other programmes they have facilitated on self-esteem, resilience, and coping skills, the Amber Programme truly stands out. It is the most dedicated, well-structured, and comprehensive programme they have encountered, with exceptional attention to detail that ensures it is both impactful and memorable for children, as well as for the adults who care for and work alongside them.

“Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and capable of thriving, no matter their circumstances. Seeing the transformation that happens when a child gains confidence, learns to manage big emotions, and believes in themselves is incredibly rewarding. I believe in equipping not only children, but also the adults around them, so that the support continues long after a programme ends. This isn’t just about delivering sessions—it’s about planting seeds of resilience and hope that can last a lifetime.“
