People's Wellbeing

Helping schools, homes and communities support young People, through bespoke support programmes

They don't need you to be right... they need you to be REAL

Everyday children and young people are being misunderstood and not getting the emotional support they need. All they want is to…

We have trained elementors ready to connect with a child or young person you're concerned about

Drip by drip, day by day, we find a way!

At Elements Support, our mission is to nurture social and emotional well-being of children and young people aged 7 to 19 through innovative and creative support.

We do this by focusing on the four elements of wellbeing:

These are... Physical Environmental Social Mental

Young people need to feel connection and to believe that wonderful things are on the horizon for them.

What We Offer...

Creative Mentoring

Creative Mentoring is a supportive, child-centred approach that uses creative tools and activities to help children and young people explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop essential social and emotional skills.

It’s not therapy in the traditional sense, it’s a safe, informal space where children feel heard, valued, and empowered to reflect, express themselves, and grow.

Transformational Talks

Transformational Talks are dynamic, virtual sessions designed to inspire and empower children and young people by addressing key aspects of emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth.

These interactive assemblies and workshops cover vital topics such as diversity, equality, self-care, and effective communication, providing participants with practical tools to navigate their emotional landscapes.

Projects

We offer flexible, project-based support to organisations seeking expert assistance for specific initiatives.

Whether it’s a short-term engagement or a long-term collaboration, our team integrates seamlessly with your operations to deliver tailored solutions that meet your unique objectives.

From planning and implementation to evaluation, we provide the expertise and resources necessary to ensure your project’s success.

Workshops & Training

Our professional workshops are designed to deepen practitioners’ understanding of the emotional landscapes of children and young people.

Rooted in lived experience and grounded in trauma-informed principles, these sessions inspire fresh perspectives and equip professionals with practical tools to foster meaningful relationships.

Why should you work with us?

Why Should You Trust Us?

Elements Support has received widespread praise from industry professionals including “Daniel Sobel”; an internationally respected leader in inclusive education, who has advised the DfE, the EU and governments abroad and the founder of Inclusion Expert and Daniel Croft; CEO of Foster Talk UK and industry professional with over 20 years of experience.

I have worked alongside Steven (Russell) when he has been chairing meetings as part of his role as family support worker for M.

He has the ability to build a relationship both with the young person and their parent/carer to help support them through their difficulties offering strategies and guidance in an empathic, non judgmental manner. We have also worked within the same schools in their Multi Agency Centers (MAC). I have seen students who have worked with Steven as their family support worker and they all really valued the work he did with them. He is a very positive, caring person who is passionate about the wellbeing of young people, wanting them to become the best they can.
If you are a Pastoral, Inclusion Lead or SLT, and you are looking for bespoke, highly effective SEMH support for your students, then I highly recommend Steven Russell. The Elements programme is tailor-made to meet your needs and it works and is backed up by testimony from many school leaders. Before you struggle-on or worry about a potential exclusion, call Steven and try out his service.

There’s a lot that I could say about Steven but I think that most people immediately get that he is genuine, real and highly experienced drawing from his own life story. He is a powerful, innovative and important voice working with children with SEMH challenges.
Elements provides a uniquely authentic child centred approach and through its bespoke support programme it not only excellently connects the four elements of the wellbeing framework but also focuses on providing a safe, non-judgemental environment in which a child can flourish at a fundamental level.

In over 20 years within social care, I have never even witnessed a bespoke programme that comes close to Elements, it’s rewards will live with children well into adulthood and filter down into generations to come.

It’s impossible to teach authenticity and passion, Steven manages to use his experience to bring an unparalleled level of passion to his work, added to his genuine authenticity and desire to learn and grow with these children, he’s an unbelievable resource to any educational environment.

For every dark night there is a brighter tomorrow!
