You’re on a Mission to Help Children Thrive

Let Their Story Shine..

Voices That Matter

You care deeply about children’s emotional health, confidence, and connection.

Whether you’re leading an NGO, funding education programs, or delivering grassroots family services, you face serious challenges:

  • Programs that don’t scale

  • Interventions that are too clinical or too rigid

  • Difficulty proving emotional outcomes

  • Parents and teachers who feel overwhelmed or under-resourced

You Need a Proven, Scalable Solution

 

Meet StoryQuest™, a neuroscience-based storytelling framework that empowers children to process emotions, build confidence, and connect more deeply with others.

Designed by former clinician and author Kate Markland, StoryQuest™ blends therapeutic storytelling with inclusive, creative, and culturally flexible formats, all supported by practical tools and evidence.

Why StoryQuest™ Works 

Backed by neuroscience and built for real-world use, StoryQuest™ activates key emotional and cognitive systems in every child:

✅ Oxytocin Release → Builds trust and connection
✅ Amygdala Regulation → Helps children manage anxiety
✅ Executive Function Activation → Enhances focus, decision-making, and regulation
✅ Mirror Neuron Engagement → Boosts empathy and social awareness

All resources are trauma-informed, play-based, and ready to use across cultures, settings, and bandwidths.

Museums Welcome!

Museums aren’t just about facts — they’re about feelings, too.
StoryQuest™ helps children explore their creativity and identity in science, media, and culture exhibits through:

  • 🎨 Interactive story stations (drawing, dice, character cards)

  • 🎥 Video intros from Kate & Gabriel

  • 🗣️ Reflection boards and storytelling prompts

  • 🧠 Neuroscience meets creativity in ways families love

“Self-expression isn’t extra. It’s essential.”

Corporate Sponsors Welcome

 

Make your CSR efforts truly meaningful by empowering children and families through storytelling. Sponsor school programs, digital kits, or join our “Voices That Matter” campaign to amplify confidence, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.

Why it matters:
Giving children the gift of voice is one of the most powerful forms of protection. When children can express their feelings, tell their stories, and trust their instincts, they are far less vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, and manipulation.

Through StoryQuest™, your organisation can be part of a proven, neuroscience-backed movement that strengthens children’s self-awareness, decision-making, and sense of agency, giving them the tools to speak up, stay safe, and thrive.

Your sponsorship doesn’t just fund a program. It changes lives.
