Disconnection, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm are rising among children, teens, and the adults who care for them.
Schools are being called to support more than academic success—they’re places where young people also learn how to regulate, relate, and restore.
A Touch of Gentleness for Schools offers practical, compassionate, evidence-based tools to support emotional wellbeing, self-regulation, and safe connection using the transformative power of gentleness, listening, and therapeutic touch.
Our fun, engaging workshops give children accessible tools to connect in a calm, safe and caring way.
“The session was really enjoyed by our pupils. Parents also commented on how excited the children were to show what they had learned. It supported our school values of kindness, giving, and trust, and covered important PSHE content including consent and touch.”
- J. Bray, Headteacher, Northiam Primary School
Children with additional needs often benefit most from co-regulation, the calm presence of another, and safe, nurturing touch.
This training supports staff to bring more calm, gentleness, and connection into every part of the school day.
When you work with us, you're part of something wider.
To date, we've partnered with over 70 organisations, charities and communities including care homes, prisons, refugees and those who are homeless. We've also attended hundreds of local events.
