Wednesday th 6 May 2015 Catholic Children Society - Our mission is to bring hope and change to children and families living with emotional and psychological distress which threatens material, mental and relational wellbeing and undermines family life. We do this by providing early intervention mental health services, family centres and other support services to children and families in need. We work at a grassroots level, enabling emotionally and materially disadvantaged children and families to transform their own lives accessing the opportunities society offers and to break free from the poverty trap How can you help support this mission in thought and action?

Reflect and pray together…. . • Do we need confidence to help someone else? • Would having specific skills make a difference? What would they be? • Perhaps you aren’t sure what to do or say and whether the person needs help. What could you say? • What’s the worst that could happen – to you and to them? • Dear God, please give me the courage and confidence to help those less fortunate than me. Amen
