Friends of Untapped are people who give a small amount each month to help children and young people access Art Psychotherapy when they would otherwise go without.Monthly support allows us to respond early, plan safely, and say yes to families before difficulties escalate into crisis. Why monthly support mattersIn January alone, we received 10 referrals from families who could not afford therapy.Many of these children:<ul fr-original-style="list-style-type: disc;" style="list-style-type: disc; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px 'Helvetica Neue';" style='margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; box-sizing: inherit;'>Were undiagnosed or awaiting assessment for ASD or ADHD</li><li fr-original-style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px 'Helvetica Neue';" style='margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; box-sizing: inherit;'>Did not yet have an EHCP</li><li fr-original-style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px 'Helvetica Neue';" style='margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; box-sizing: inherit;'>Were at serious risk of school avoidance due to severe anxiety</li></ul>Early therapeutic support at this stage is essential. However, schools often do not have the capacity or resources to recognise and meet the needs of these children early enough, and statutory pathways are slow, with CAMHS waiting times of up to 2 years. CAMHS no longer routinely offers Art Psychotherapy - CBT is the norm, and is not suitable for everyone. ASD and ADHD assessment waiting times are likely to be 2.5- 3 years.&nbsp; Without charity-funded therapy, many of these children would receive no support at all until difficulties become far more entrenched.
