Who are we
Unlocking Potential is the charity that supports schools and communities to ensure no child or family struggles alone with their social, emotional and mental health needs. We provide flexible, over-time, multi-disciplinary therapeutic support that meets children and families where they are, and enables them to feel safe, understood and the best version of themselves.
The scale of the social and mental health challenges affecting children and families in the UK is greater than ever before and our services for schools, and with families, is an impactful response to unprecedented demand and unmet need for therapeutic support.
Vision
Everyone feels supported, equipped and able to achieve their potential.
Mission
Our mission is to provide tailored therapeutic support to more children, while training the practitioners of the future to build holistic, resilient social systems that equip children and their families with the confidence, tools, and skills to thrive at school and within their communities.
Values
Individual
Everything we do is about the individual and what is right for them – no two children, families or schools are the same.
Innovative
We look for new solutions, evolving our thinking and approach – ensuring the use of bold, co-designed practice.
Collaborative
We choose to work with others to find the best solutions – we are stronger together.
