Welldoing Inspiration Awards 2024 Winner: Emma Colyer, Body and Soul

We're thrilled to announce Emma Colyer as one of our Welldoing Inspiration Awards 2024 winners Emma is the founder and director of Body and Soul, a charity for children, teens and their families to help them recover from adverse childhood experiences. Originally, when it started in 1996, it focused on families and individuals affected by HIV, but today it is generally for young people in pain, including a strong programme for suicide prevention. As its founder and director Emma Colyer MBE says “We have always taken a whole person approach. We talk about what has happened to you, rather than what’s wrong with you. Our programmes come from understanding the people who use our services. “For example we have a programme for 16-24 year olds who have attempted suicide. They might come to us from A&E, university counselling, or school crisis teams, but for many of them there is nowhere else to go. “This award increases our profile so people will know where they can find help to interrupt that cycle of suffering, pain and loneliness", says Emma. Nominator Deborah Bee, who is chair of the board, adds “Body and Soul is a place of love.” See our other winners here: https://welldoing.org/article/meet-th...
