At Lawrence House School, we’re delighted to be working closely with ZunTold, a Manchester-based publisher and bibliotherapy company that uses the power of stories to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
ZunTold’s “fiction as therapy” approach gives our students access to their secure online platform. There they can read interactive Living Books, explore their thoughts and feelings through guided therapeutic writing, and, where appropriate, take part in one-to-one sessions with counsellors trained in bibliotherapy.
Our partnership goes beyond counselling. Our teachers are working alongside ZunTold to create resources and develop their books for classroom use. By blending digital texts, audio and print, we aim to support students’ academic learning and skills as well as their emotional wellbeing and personal development.
We’re excited to see this collaboration grow. To find out more about ZunTold, visit via the link below.
Ygam
Ygam is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to empowering children and young people to lead safer digital lives, with a particular focus on preventing gaming and gambling harms, which can affect their financial, social, emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing, as well as their relationships.
Ygam’s Parents & Carers programme is designed for parents, carers, guardians, and foster carers supporting children and young people.
The programme aims to help adults understand children’s digital lives and the opportunities and risks linked to gaming and gambling. Participants learn how young people engage with digital activities, the influence of advertising and in‑game mechanics, and the blurred lines between gaming and gambling.
Outcomes include increased confidence in spotting warning signs, having open and productive conversations at home, creating safer digital environments, and knowing where and how to access support when needed.
Our free sessions for Parents and Carers are 1 hour in length and are run regularly online. They can be booked through the link below.
