A teenager explains how therapeutic groups for children, helped by Children in Need, supported her.
A teenager has said the charity she now volunteers at "may have saved her life" when she was herself being helped by it.
Jaime - now at college - said it had "made such a difference to my life, I want to give something back".She first came to the groups about six years ago, when she was 10 or 11 years old: "I was in a bit of a mess. I struggled with anger throughout my childhood.Jaime describes the environment as relaxed, which allows people to open up. There are also opportunities to be creative.
Her mum, Karina, said before STEP, her daughter's behaviour had been deteriorating: "You couldn't console her. The atmosphere in the house was awful, treading on eggshells the entire time."
