Did you know that the final Sunday in April is 'Pet Parent Day'.

Pets are very much part of the family and that includes us here at Focusing Minds: Poppy is our little Kokoni/Basenji cross who can often be found relaxing in the sun at our Ossett space!

But the important role pets can play in mental health, wellbeing and personal development cannot be understated. For younger children, looking after pets can allow them to develop the responsibility of care and empathy whilst they can also be icebreakers in social situations, often encouraging and providing confidence to children to engage more in interactions with others.

If you're a 'pet parent' then today is one just for you!

At Focusing Minds, we have two support spaces where the majority of our services are delivered.

Our Ossett support space at Simply Business Space - Seemore Business Centre provides a bright, relaxing space where children, young people and families can access our entry-level and SEND services.

Our Brighouse support space at , Vulcan House, is a homely, relaxing space children and young people can access our mentoring, coaching and some of our counselling support.

With a growing associates team also offering a range of services from locations across Calderdale, Kirklees and Calderdale, reach out to us today to find out more about where you can access support.

Here at Focusing Minds we're keen to support those in our local community.

This extends further than young people, families and schools in the areas we serve. Where possible, we always try to use local providers and businesses when we need to 'get stuff done'.

A huge thank you to S&K Printing Services in Ossett who have once again helped us deck out our workwear, ensuring the team are recognisable, smart and professional-looking.

This feature of our services may seem like the most obvious and is just common sense yet it is perhaps the most vital component when it comes to supporting young people to make progress.

So how do we do it? Person-centred principles underpin all that we do and offering empathy and unconditional positive regard certainly help young people to feel safe, secure and trusted in the working relationship.

Actively listening, validating feelings and providing an environment where young people feel heard and accepted only helps strengthen the relationship further.

With the non-league football season coming to a close, today marks the latest installment (and rivalry - footballing-wise at least) of 'The Battle of The Support Spaces' in the North Counties Eastern Premier League.

This afternoon Brighouse Town will face off against Ossett United with both sides sadly in a relegation battle. Of course we will sit on the fence and say score draw...

A key feature of our approach is the offer of unconditional positive regard.

When young people feel judged, feel their decisions are being questioned or feel under pressure, they are less likely to feel accepted, understood or open up as freely.

Unconditional positive regard means we accept the young people who seek our support for the individual they are, regardless of their circumstances and whatever societal norms may present as barriers.
