The project will look to bring therapy to 66 children and nine parents in each school over the three-year period, as well as trauma informed training for up to 18 staff.
It hopes to have two on-site therapists in the selected schools for one day a week, delivering 25 one-to-one sessions for six children, 10 group therapy sessions for eight children and six therapy sessions for three parents.
Additionally, there will be trauma informed professional development training for six staff.
After the three years of funding, KidsAid hopes to continue its work through help from local businesses and school partnerships.
