Psychosocial support for children and families during COVID-19 Approach 3: Mulberry Bush

Family for Every Child, as part of its How We Care initiative, has developed a series on Psychosocial support for children and families during COVID-19, which highlights different approaches taken by three of its member organizations to providing essential psychosocial support to vulnerable children and families within the context of the pandemic. In this approach, Mulberry Bush - which has a school that provides residential therapeutic care, treatment and education for children aged 5-13 who are vulnerable due to their social, emotional and behavioural issues - is maintaining the safe running of a residential therapeutic School throughout the pandemic whilst prioritising the wellbeing of both the children and the staff.
