Caring for children and young people’s mental health

We support children, young people and their families when they have difficulties with their emotional wellbeing, relationships, behaviour or mental health.

We help with all sorts of issues, from common worries to more severe or long-term difficulties. We also support children, young people and their families with disabilities and additional needs like autism.

As  partnership of specialist NHS services and voluntary organisations, we can make sure you and your family get the support you need.

Services

We help families to recognise and build on their own strengths as we work together. We also offer workshops, drop-ins and other support for all local parents and carers, regardless of whether their child is using our services.
