News from The Children's Society East

In this edition of our newsletter, we are focusing on boys and young men. Across many of our services and partnerships, we continue to see concerns about male mental health, emotional wellbeing, risk-taking behaviours, and engagement with support. Yet behind the behaviours we notice, there is often much more that remains unseen. Read more in our September newsletter.

At The Children's Society we are often asked why we support young adults when our name suggests a focus on children. It's a fair question - and one that reflects a common misunderstanding about development and need. Find our more about our work supporting young adults aged 18-24 years.
