Children and young people can face many issues and challenges, and having these sessions can help. We can help you find positive steps towards improved emotional and mental health.
If you are worried about your emotional well-being, are looking for advice or would like to understand ways to cope, you can speak to your GP who could refer you to one of our team. We can then help you with:
- one-to-one support including face-to-face sessions, phone, video calls, texts and emails. We also do informal 'walk and talk' appointments. Usually you would have six sessions.
- help getting other support in the community, including coming along with you to your first meetings
- together we will help you create a support plan that suits you.
This is not an emergency service and any child or young person with an urgent issue should seek immediate medical attention.
