Dandelion Time
Maidstone, UK
Dandelion Time helps children in Kent struggling with the effects of trauma, abuse or neglect. Children spend time on our farm with animals and crafts to overcome emotional difficulties, grow in confidence and begin to love and trust again. Our approach is family based and creates opportunities for new beginnings and improved relationships. The service recognises the importance of being in a peaceful natural environment, absorbing children in calming hands on activities. Therapists guide families to harness the healing powers of the natural world using materials such as wood, wool and clay, to care for animals and to grow and eat healthy food thus laying down new positive memories: * Dandelion Time gives children and families time and space to love and trust again * Time to heal from emotional trauma and abuse * Time to rebuild confidence and strengthen relationships * And time to develop skills and aspirations for a brighter future
