A helpful resource by the Social Workers Toolbox, "My Worry Jar" is designed to support children managing their worries. đź’•

"By writing or drawing their worries and placing them in the jar, children can symbolically “let go” of anxious thoughts, knowing that the friendly dinosaurs will guard them until they are ready to revisit them. This playful approach encourages emotional regulation and helps children develop healthy coping mechanisms."

Helpful resource by the Social Workers Toolbox to help children, kids and young people understand what drains their energy and what helps them recharge. It supports emotional regulation, self-awareness and healthy coping skills in a clear and child-friendly way.

"The worksheet uses the idea of a battery to explain mental and emotional energy. In the first section, children reflect on what drains their battery – things that make them feel tired, overwhelmed, worried, cross or fed up. In the second section, they identify what recharges their battery – activities, people or strategies that help them feel calm, happy, settled or ready again. This visual tool helps kids and teens build emotional literacy by linking feelings, behaviour and energy levels. It encourages them to notice triggers, recognise stress signs and develop personalised self-regulation strategies. It can support children who struggle with anxiety, big emotions, low mood, emotional outbursts or difficulties with behaviour at home or school."

Our Story

Xcel 2000 is an independent fostering organisation, founded in 2000, covering Kent, London, Essex and Hertfordshire.

We are the main provider for fostering services for Kent & Medway, a preferred provider to the eastern region local authorities and part of the fostering framework for Hertfordshire, Croydon and Sutton. We are an active member of local and national forums which ensures that we have an influence in guaranteeing and maintaining best practice.

Our small, friendly team of foster carers, social workers and office staff work together to support young people in care. We aim to give them the best possible opportunities and experiences in safe, stable and supportive families. Since the organisation was formed in 2000, our families have fostered over 1000 children. Xcel 2000 have one of the highest number of looked after children living with their foster families long term or permanently - nearly 80%, providing stability and reassurance to both the young people and to our amazing, close knit team of foster parents.

Many factors contribute to our successes, including our excellent training and support, weekly foster parent meet ups, careful matching processes and a close knit team. We pride ourselves on being a small organisation that really cares, where every child really matters and every foster parent is valued and respected. The close working relationship that we have with the families who foster for us is paramount. We know each of our foster parents personally and are aware of how every young person is progressing.
