A growing community wellbeing hub has launched their first in-person event to help children and parents, with one focus on anxiety.
Positively Empowered Kids co-founder Jackie Wilson, from Arnold, said the organisation has noticed more people suffering from the condition.
"We're seeing a lot more people with anxiety," she said.
"It's a top illness we're coming across which has been heightened by the pandemic but there is so many things we advice those with anxiety to work on.
"Each child is different. We teach them breathing techniques, journalling, how to talk about their feelings or how to be creative.
"We support parents with this too because it's about them learning what's best for their child. We're growing, we have the launch of our festival in September, we're in the full swing of arranging that and we've been busy creating this hub."
Fellow co-founder Claire Clements added: "Anxiety has evolved but more but what we're finding is people aren't hesitant to ask for help, they're less scared which is positive.
"We've started corporate wellbeing sessions too and we've got around four kick starters now."
Positively Empowered Kids' ethos is to be "focused on the ecosystem of young people" and on the third Monday of every month at the Nottingham Building Society in Arnold, there will be wellbeing sessions and support and advice for both children and adults.
The wellbeing sessions will focus on mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, sleeping advice and more.
Previously, all sessions took place online and these will still continue alongside the in-person events.
Positively Empowered Kids' sponsors include Severn Trent Water, Gedling Borough Council and Small Steps Big Changes.
The community organisation also fund-raises for themselves.
Clements, from Bingham, detailed how their journey is helping young people and how their business has grown.
She also spoke about the importance of an in-person wellbeing hub.
"Online, it can be overwhelming having sessions so it's nice to come into the community," she said.
"It's not threatening in any way and it gives support to local people.
"We're helping people in disadvantaged areas, kids who have free school meals or who have never done certain activities.
"We've recently taken school children to the panto which was a magical experience for them. What we're doing is good for parents and children, we're helping children who wouldn't typically engage and we've had great feedback."
Positively Empowered Kids has help and support on their website with advice from over 600 experts, and the organisation is supporting a growing amount of children and parents in Nottingham.
In Arnold, passers-by praised the work that they are doing, even though many had never heard of the organisation.
Courtney Barns, 23, a student from Arnold spoke about how more things like this are needed.
She said: "I support things like this, it's great, it makes mental health less taboo, especially for children and it's a step in the right direction, you can't not agree with something like this.
"To take care of my well being I sometimes have social media breaks and a nice hot bath always makes me feel better."
Phil Gamblen, 71 and retired from Strelley said: "It's great, with all the trouble with the last 2 years, it's something to get involved in. Personally, I like to do breathing techniques and observe my thoughts to stay calm, that's what I find useful."
Labour councillor for the Colwick Ward and Mayor of Gedling, Meredith Lawrence added: "I think it's great that a commercial organisation helps with this kind of thing in the community, these are the types of collaborations that are springing up all over the place and it's great to see that.
"It's because of the connection between local businesses and voluntary organisations most important that sort of thing happens and this is on the high street too, its easily accessible and that's absolutely great."
