Fegans’ are dedicated to making a change in the lives of children and families suffering due to the effects of mental ill-health. Since February this year Fegans have been running an on-going mental health survey, asking members of the public in Kent how they feel about the mental health issues surrounding young people and their families. The results have been incredibly insightful, and Fegans uses information like this to help craft our services and communications

Despite doubling the number of counselling sessions Fegans provides for children in schools and its centres over the past two years, demand for its services continues to rise and the charity is constantly recruiting more counsellors. This is reflective of the national picture, with Public Health England reporting that only 25% of children needing professional therapeutic support actually receive it.
