Fresh Little Minds Programmes are based upon The AMBER Approach and it’s our charity’s core value to spread the joy and positive impact of AMBER. It is our vision to support as many children as possible to connect with their inner guidance and strengths as they navigate life through putting these powerful tools in the hands of change makers. We Want children to orientate towards life, to know their pathway and to have the tools, mindset and resilience to thrive.

The AMBER Approach and Fresh Little Minds Programmes have been evaluated by Queens University Belfast which celebrates in evidence the strength of The AMBER Approach for children and as a tool for those working with children and those working with parents. The evidence demonstrates the approach and programmes to be accessible and successful for all children. This includes children who are impacted by emotional distress, grief, loss and change. AMBER supports children to navigate their inner and outer world.

There are a number of onboarding coach & practitioner programmes available, all of these programmes include THE AMBER Approach Advanced Practitioner Training:

• Fresh Little Minds GROW Coach Training (Community based coaches working with children coach pathway begins here)
• Fresh Little Minds SUNRISE Coach Training (School based coaches working with children aged 6-8yrs coach pathway begins here)
  
• Parenting Fresh Little Minds GROW Coach Training (Those working with parents or carers coach pathway begins here)

Fresh Minds takes a boutique approach to cascading this work. The Coach training takes place with small groups of practitioners, only those passionate about this work are considered as a coach and we can only support those who have an established avenue to cascade this work locally with children and parents who need it most.

If you are ready to embrace The AMBER Approach and incorporate Fresh Little Minds Programmes for Children or Parents into your community, school or place of work we would love to hear from you. Your Journey Begins Here.
