One-Eighty is a mental health and behaviour support charity. We work across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, empowering children and young people to improve their mental health and re-engage with education.
Through intensive one-to-one sessions, we support children and young people dealing with complex personal challenges (such as trauma, bereavement, mental health difficulties, and those with difficult family circumstances) which prevent them from engaging with school. Our focus is delivering sustainable, long-term change for each young person; putting them at the heart of our support and investing time with them and their family to give them the tools and strategies they need to return to education and have hope for the future.
We deliver preventative mental health projects to schools, and provide specialist training and support to professionals working with children and young people.
To help us reach the increasing numbers of young people in need of our support you can donate to One-Eighty.
Our Story
Since we started in 2011, we’ve grown to support vulnerable young people and families across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire West. We exist for those who fall through the net and struggle to find support that’s tailored to their specific needs.
Our Services
We support children and young people (aged 4-18) and their families, as well as professionals working with children and young people. Our services include intensive 1:1 interventions, preventative mental health projects, training and student placements.
Our Impact
We are a professional, strategic and innovative charity that uses evidence-based approaches to ensure maximum impact in all our work. We
re-engage children and young people with a positive learning experience and help to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing.
