Our Mission

A Charity Rooted in Compassion and Connection

Fresh Minds Education is a mental health charity based in Antrim, working across Northern Ireland. We believe that no child or young person should face bereavement or emotional distress alone. Every day, we walk alongside children, families, and communities through life’s toughest moments with compassion and connection.

Our Projects:

Bereavement support
The Glimmer Project:

Bringing light into the darkest times. We support bereaved children, young people, families, and carers through Glimmer Boxes, Grief Guidance, Bereavement Support Groups, Grief Education, & Family Events. When support is available, we also offer grief counselling and child and parent sessions to help hearts begin to heal together.

Resilience Education

Planting seeds of resilience that grow for life. Through training, resources, & direct delivery, we help children, parents, teachers, & youth workers understand feelings, build coping skills, and grow emotional strength together.

Community Groups & Events

A vibrant thread weaving communities together through a wide range of groups and events, and our highly regarded Connections Suicide Prevention Talks & Training. Through Path to Hope, we spark joy, honour loss, reduce loneliness, & hold hope.
