your child’s story, their way.
brave sparks brings the magic of the therapy room home — each episode is shaped by your child’s voice, needs, and strengths to reflect the goals and values that matter most to your family.
a personal, playful, portable therapy tool — because sometimes, it helps to hear things in different ways, at different times, so we can stand in front of old triggers in new ways.
let’s step a little deeper into the story…
we believe in you
at trust children, we believe stories have the power to build connection, spark imagination, and help kids — and their pets 🐾 — feel seen and supported.
stories are co-created with each child (and sometimes their favourite pets 🐾) — designed to nurture confidence, emotional regulation, and making space for big feelings.
why brave sparks?
brave sparks gives voice to the many ways therapeutic strategies and concepts can be woven into children’s stories — creating accessible, playful therapy ready whenever your child needs it.
co-created with the neurodivergent children we support — their voices lighting the way.
what makes brave sparks different?
brave sparks was created to extend therapy beyond the room, giving kids something they can carry with them. every story becomes a companion they can return to — playful, nurturing, and designed to gently reinforce their strengths over time.
it’s therapy that keeps giving — reusable, reassuring, and alive with possibility.
because practising brave takes time — and sometimes, we all need a reminder of what we’re capable of.
what if therapy felt woven into your days, playful and connecting?
a note for parents and caregivers
we know that, so often, parents and caregivers are left wondering what actually happens inside the therapy room. but you shouldn’t be on the outside — you are the expert when it comes to your child, and your connection to their story is what carries our therapeutic approaches into everyday life.
we also know that can feel like a lot — another thing added to an already full plate. but what if it didn’t have to be like that?
brave sparks is designed to meet your family where you are. these stories gently weave therapeutic ideas into moments that feel playful, curious, and connecting — not like more ‘work’.
they’re here when you need them — ready to revisit, rehearse, and share together.
if you’re ready for therapy that flows into family life, reach out to the trust children team. we’d love to walk alongside you.
how does it work?
✨ stories are co-created with each child (and sometimes their favourite pets) — weaving their voice, ideas, and experiences into every episode.
✨ therapeutic strategies are personalised, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming — carefully chosen to reflect the child’s unique journey.
✨ children can revisit their story whenever they need a boost, a reminder, or a moment of connection.
✨ parent or guardian consent is always required, and privacy is carefully protected — stories are de-identified unless specific details are included with consent.
and now, meet some of the brave sparks lighting the way…

🛟 a note on consent and safety

our goal is always to honour each child’s story while protecting their emotional safety and privacy.
created by trust children. co-created with the neurodivergent children we support, whose voices, strengths, and stories light the way.
🫶 we’re honoured to walk alongside these child-led stories, grounded in science, creativity, and connection.
