attachment focused mentoring and support services
Cherished offers a range of group and 1:1 mentoring options, to meet the unique needs of each girl we support. We have a dedicated team of highly-trained, volunteer mentors who go into Primary and Secondary schools across Birmingham to deliver our creative mentoring sessions and run The Cherished Course and Blossom groups.
Attachment focused mentoring has never been more crucial
Over a third of girls in the UK suffer with depression and anxiety
7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way
1 in 3 adult mental health conditions relate directly to adverse childhood experiences
The symptoms of trauma can disrupt a girl's education and are mentally and physically damaging. If we don't intervene, what will happen to these girls?
The one thing which I feel Cherished has helped me with the most is to know that it doesn’t matter how big your dreams are, as long as you want them enough there is always a way for them to become reality.

The girls involved in Cherished are more confident in the classroom and with their peers. We have noticed academically the girls have improved. We would recommend the Cherished course to schools.

I love the enthusiasm of the girls sharing things with you and giving them the time to express themselves. I feel privileged to be around such an inspirational group of ladies.
