Join the #100AoC campaign to support therapy sessions for all

Whether you’re an HR professional, a CEO that wants to effect change, an educator, or in the healthcare industry, the #100AoC campaign is the perfect opportunity for you to actively support the provision of mental health support.

Let’s be honest, we all have wobbles with our mental well-being, and it can feel so very private and embarrassing — leading us to bury our distress.

We can often speak to or see others and have a gut feeling that something is wrong but don’t feel qualified to help or know someone who can.

“One in four people experience mental illness.” NHS

But The AoC Trust can help, and we need your support to fund our qualified therapists and share the services we provide with those in need. The AoC Trust delivers a blend of traditional counselling with the creative arts therapies that are accessible to all.

What is the #100AoC campaign?

The #100AoC campaign has launched to encourage 100 businesses and healthcare organisations to stand behind the mental health provision provided by The AoC Trust.

Our past and present supporters include:

Who will the #100AoC campaign support?

The #100AoC campaign can provide a blend of traditional counselling and the creative arts therapies to support all ages, genders, cultures, and mental health types.

Support might be by funding mental health hours for your team, your teachers, your community, your members, or a charitable donation to support people’s mental health.

You can also get involved by sharing the services that The AoC provide to encourage others to support or access our services for their own mental health.

The AoC Trust offers both funded and non-funded therapy for both children and adults — we can truly help everyone.

With your help, we can achieve our goals to provide a blend of therapy that is accessible to all and carve new pathways to overcome mental health provision barriers.

PROVIDING ALL-EMBRACING THERAPY TO SUPPORT WELL-BEING

Continuing to provide every type and combination of support for varying mental health complexities.

OFFER A WIDE CHOICE OF THERAPY METHODS

To support our understanding that no one therapy works for all; we will continue to provide counselling alongside the creative arts therapies.

CONTINUING TO PROVIDE SUPPORT THAT EVERYONE CAN ACCESS

We will continue to offer support face to face, by telephone, and online to increase the accessibility of therapy.

MAKING TIME FOR ALL AGES, CULTURES, AND GENDERS

There is no minimum or maximum age limit for therapy. We will use our outreach projects to continue to target specific groups.

MAKING THERAPY AFFORDABLE FOR ALL

Through the support of our clients and partners, we will strive to remove the barriers that counselling and therapy present financially.
