ABOUT US
The difficulties young people are facing today created by modern society have an immense impact on their mental
well-being and healthy development.
Lack of knowledge, understanding and appropriate skills on how to build resilience and emotional shield leads to an inability to work through challenges modern life has put upon them.
James Fridman Foundation was established to help and
support children and young people affected by social issues. ​

people have a sense of belonging.

A world where they are happy, valued
and understood.​
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support and help children and
young people in developing their skills, understanding, and capabilities that will enable them

An alarming number of young members of our society are suffering mental distress and unhappiness as a result of the considerable pressures which exist within modern day living.
Anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide are amongst the most common mental health conditions in children and young people.
We want to help children and young people build confidence,
resilience and self-esteem by developing social, emotional and coping skills through art, humour and creativity.
