Helpful Services

There may be times in a young person’s life when they need a bit of extra support. Growing up brings its own worries, and young people may experience difficulties at school, at home, or as a result of changing family circumstances. Listed below are some services that offer support, counselling, advice and practical help. You can always talk to one of our experienced Youth Workers who will be happy to sign-post you to a relevant service.

Types of help:

Emotional support: organisations that will listen to you, give you time to talk about how you’re feeling in a caring and non-judgemental way

Counselling: trained professionals that you can talk to about specific problems that trouble you and be listened to in a way that helps you understand yourself better, including your thoughts, feelings and behaviour

Advice: Organisations that can give you information and options to recommend what you could do in your situation

Practical help: services or people who find solutions or can give you things to deal directly with a situation and try to improve it
