Young Persons

What is Young Person’s Service?

We offer one-to-one appointments for people to develop mental health and wellbeing plans based on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.

When you receive your referral, you will be assigned a Young Person’s Practitioner who will work with you to create a wellbeing plan and offer follow-up reviews. Appointments also include goal setting and recovery action plans, which can look at your triggers and early warning signs and help you identify coping mechanisms.

Appointments can also include advice and signposting with S&G Mind signposting to appropriate local agencies in the area.

CAMHS Step Down Programme

We partner with CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) to help ease transitions for young people aged 18 and being discharged from CAMHS. This includes one-to-one monthly appointments with an assigned Young Person’s Practitioner for up to 12 months.

Young Person’s Group

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or simply seeking a place to share your thoughts, you’ll find a welcoming space here.

Our sessions focus on fostering resilience, developing coping strategies, and promoting self-care practices.
