HQ Therapy Partners with Mind of the Student + Join us In July at their Charity Race in the QE Olympic Park!
The exciting news at HQ therapy is that we have recently partnered with Mind of the Student (MOTS), an organisation that educates mental health within schools and family hubs.
This is achieved by delivering school-wide mental health workshops and community-led programmes. Their mission is to equip young people with the knowledge, confidence and skills to recognise and address their own mental health needs.
Mind of the Student was founded on lived experience in school by Co-Founders, Kieran Goodwin and Jaylan Sesli (She/Her), who both struggled with their mental health in school.
They felt unsupported, scared and alone, with no knowledge at hand to support themselves, which led them to head Mind of the Student, helping other young people get the confidence and resilience to speak up about their mental health.
Kieran and Jaylan started by training students to provide mental health first aid to their peers. They’ve since expanded their work to include teachers and parents, supporting mental health education and awareness in school communities. Their work aligns beautifully with our mission at HQ Therapy—to make mental health care more accessible, informed, and community-rooted.
We feel that this is such a good cause and are honoured to be working with them to reach out and help support individuals in the mental health sector
Why This Partnership With Mind of the Student Matters
This collaboration gives us a meaningful opportunity to:
- Raise awareness about mental health in student communities.
- Connect with parents and educators seeking support.
- Highlight both our low-cost therapy service and fully qualified practice offerings.
Mind of the Student is expanding its outreach in schools and family systems, and we’re excited to be part of their journey.
