How we help

Direct intervention on the issues that matter

We work directly with children and young people, in school, in the community and alongside their families, on the challenges that are holding them back.

Areas of intervention

What we work on

Many young people we work with face more than one of these at the same time. Our work treats the whole young person, not just a single issue.

Anxiety, low mood, anger, self-esteem and emotional regulation, worked through directly with the young person.

  • Anxiety, worry and low mood
  • Anger and emotional regulation

Our services

Support you can access, in the way that suits

Ten services, delivered one-to-one, in groups, with families and online, all within our Prevention, Reset and Reintegration model.

Trauma-Informed Therapy Sessions

Specialised, trauma-informed therapy that helps young people work through their emotional challenges. In a safe and nurturing space, they build coping strategies, emotional regulation and resilience, at a pace that builds trust.

One-to-one

Anger Management Workshops

Interactive workshops where young people explore where their anger comes from and learn constructive ways to express it, with techniques for emotional regulation, problem-solving and better communication with peers and family.

Workshop

Support Groups for Domestic Violence Survivors

Safe, supportive groups for young survivors of domestic violence. Sharing experiences with others who understand reduces isolation and helps young people begin to reclaim their strength and autonomy.

Group

Individual Counselling for Emotional Healing

Confidential, non-judgmental counselling from our in-house counsellors, tailored to each young person. Evidence-based approaches, including CBT-informed work where appropriate, build coping skills and self-awareness.

One-to-one

Crisis Intervention and Safety Planning

Urgent support for young people facing acute emotional distress or danger, and safety plans that give them the tools to handle immediate threats and seek help. Youth Services is not an emergency service: in immediate danger, call 999.

One-to-one

Family Mediation Services

Support for families in difficult times. We open up dialogue so family members understand each other, resolve conflict constructively and make sure everyone’s voice is heard.

Family

Online Resources and Webinars

Online resources and webinars that help young people and families understand mental health and support strategies, with practical tools that can be used from home.

Online

Educational Programmes on Healthy Relationships

Interactive programmes on communication, consent and respect, plus conflict resolution and emotional intelligence, so young people can build positive connections.

Workshop

Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Classes

Classes that teach meditation, breathing exercises and mindful awareness, helping young people manage anxiety and find calm and clarity in daily life.

Group

Advocacy and Support Services for Victims
