Mental health practitioners Andrea and Louise have worked professionally together for over 6 years. Initially retrained in primary education, both women had many direct experiences of what the lack of support for children suffering with mental health meant. It was clear that this missing help has an extremely detrimental effect on a great number of children. This was ultimately the fuel behind the desire to make real change moving forwards. This passion, combined with an unwavering and solid kinship, has evolved into the complete social and emotional care package that Freedom & Growth offers.
