Mental Health Support Grant

The James Tudor Foundation's Mental Health Support Grant supports charities that help children, young people, and parents overcome adversity and break the intergenerational cycle of trauma and abuse. The programme focuses on evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions designed to overcome and prevent the trauma of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The programme works on two levels: supporting children and young people affected by ACEs through specialist therapeutic services, and supporting parents to help break the cycle of trauma across generations. The Foundation seeks to provide flexible funding to organisations whose work is fully aligned with stated funding priorities, requiring that all services delivered by the charity fall entirely within eligible categories. Eligible charities must have a specialist, single focus on specific ACEs such as childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, parental mental illness or substance abuse, or bereavement and complex loss. For parent-focused programmes, the Foundation supports charities delivering evidence-based, whole-family, trauma-informed programmes that help parents confront their own ACEs and prevent harm to their children.
