Breathwork for Children CIC

Building calm, confidence and resilience beyond the classroom

Breathwork for Children CIC works with youth groups, sports clubs and community organisations to deliver engaging, age-appropriate breathwork sessions for children, teens and older youth.

Our sessions support young people to regulate their nervous systems, manage stress and build emotional resilience whether they’re navigating school pressure, social challenges, performance demands or the transition into adolescence.

Alongside direct delivery, we also offer CPD-accredited training opportunities for youth workers, coaches and group leaders, supporting confident, consistent wellbeing practice within clubs and organisations.

Why This Matters for Youth Settings

Children and young people carry stress into every environment school, home and activities. As children move into adolescence, pressures often increase, including:

• Academic and exam stress
• Social and peer challenges
• Performance and competition anxiety
• Fatigue and busy schedules

Across Wales:

• 1 in 5 children and young people have a diagnosable mental health condition
• 30–40% experience ongoing anxiety or emotional difficulties

Youth settings are uniquely placed to support wellbeing in a non-clinical, trusted environment, helping young people feel safe, confident and connected — without stigma.
