The Curve Foundation
The Curve Foundation supports children, young adults and families facing mental health challenges in Essex. We provide access to guidance, information and support through our online services and work with schools and their communities to raise awareness and foster support around mental health with the aim of breaking down stigma around these often-misunderstood mental health conditions.
