The Hub started in the therapy room. Running creative mindfulness workshops for parents and children, Zara noticed that hands-on, visual approaches — paper mache volcanoes to explore anger, garden metaphors to talk about growth, sensory activities to ground big feelings — landed differently. Parents wanted to take the concepts home. They asked for the materials.
The problem was that the best creative psychological tools were either locked behind clinical training, prohibitively expensive, or simply didn't exist in an accessible form. So Zara started making them — worksheets that translated the paper mache volcano into something a parent could sit down with their child and use on a Tuesday evening. Engaging, low-cost, grounded in real psychological thinking.
Every resource is clinician-designed and co-created with TCPH Ambassadors — children with lived experience of navigating difference, difficulty, and diagnosis. Not resources designed about children. Resources designed with them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ACROSS THE VILLAGE
"Exactly what I needed to use with my class this week. Clear, accessible, and the children really engaged with it."
— Primary school teacher
"I used the worry space worksheet with my 7-year-old at home — she opened up more in 20 minutes than she had in weeks."
— Parent
"Good tools shouldn't cost the earth — and they shouldn't sit behind clinic walls either."
