Building ‘Bouncebackability’ One Child at a Time
At Resilient Kids Hub, we’re on a mission to transform the way young people, parents, and schools approach mental health, well-being and resilience. Founded by Darren Hunter, a passionate advocate for emotional literacy and personal growth, the Hub offers a proactive, engaging, and impactful alternative to traditional therapy.
Why We Started
The mental health crisis among children in the UK is at an all-time high. With therapy waiting times averaging over 10-12 weeks for initial assessments and up to 6 months or more for ongoing support, too many children are left struggling without the help they urgently need.
For founder Darren, this challenge was personal. As someone who has experienced the toll of mental health struggles, ADHD burnout, and even sepsis, Darren knows firsthand how critical timely support can be. Inspired by his own recovery journey and years of working with young people, he created Resilient Kids Hub to offer practical, accessible solutions for resilience-building.
What Makes Us Different?
Resilient Kids Hub is not a replacement for therapy—it’s a bridge, a foundation, and a proactive approach to nurturing emotional well-being.
Immediate Impact: No long waiting lists. Our workshops, programmes, and mentoring sessions provide tools children can start using right away.
Prevention Over Cure: By equipping kids with emotional literacy and skills to bounce back, we aim to reduce the likelihood of crises requiring intensive intervention.
Whole-Community Approach: From parents to educators, we ensure everyone in a child’s life has the tools to support their growth.
Trauma-Informed Practices: At Resilient Kids Hub, we use a trauma-informed approach rooted in the P.A.C.E. framework—Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy. This means we create safe spaces where children feel seen, understood, and supported. Our methods encourage trust and connection, allowing young people to explore their emotions, build resilience, and thrive at their own pace. By understanding the impact of trauma on emotional and behavioral development, we help children move from merely surviving to truly flourishing.
At the heart of Resilient Kids Hub is a belief in play, empathy, embodiment, and purpose. We combine practical tools with creativity and fun, ensuring our sessions are not only impactful but also engaging. Resilience isn’t just about overcoming challenges—it’s about learning to thrive in spite of them, and that’s what we teach every day.
