The Australian Charities Fund

KidsXpress is an expressive therapy centre that offers a non-threatening environment to children between the ages of 4 -14 years who are experiencing challenges in life such as illness or death of a family member, abuse or neglect, separation of parents, behavioural issues or self-esteem issues. 

KidsXpress empowers children by providing a creative opportunity to identify, express, enjoy and enhance positive strategies for their lives. These skills will significantly increase the self-esteem and resilience of children and will contribute to their development to healthy adulthood. KidsXpress is an innovative and dynamic program that provides these children with positive, healthy coping mechanisms to face the challenges and stresses that life presents. This is achieved through the therapeutic use of music, art and drama. KidsXpress is supporting children to find a healthy and safe way to cope with life whilst learning a positive coping mechanism for life.

KidsXpress is leading the way, as the first centre of its kind world-wide; never before have the therapies been integrated in such a unique concept that provides a service for such a diverse range of children in need. There is no magic wand to avoid life or its challenges but KidsXpress can make a difference when the difference counts and to the health of our community. All children will be referred from a multiple of other care/crisis intervention services and will have experienced a significant childhood challenge, trauma or event.
