Our professional counsellors help guide parents in their journey through grief

Can you help us engage with young people? Every week we head out from the youth centre and engage with young people where ever they are. It's a great way to get useful services out to young people that might not know about them and offer support where it's needed. We like to offer young people a hot chocolate and biscuit while they chat to us and some really look forward to seeing us. Please help us by donating to buy this offering and help us engage with young people!

Peer support is a regular gathering of people who have lived experience of poor mental health. These are facilitated by trained volunteers who will help to guide the meeting and allow everyone to have a chance to share and give feedback to their peers. At our meetings we help to encourage members to set goals for themselves so that they can start making small but measurable steps to becoming well again. We equip members with the tools they need to enable them to make positive changes to their lives. Regular members report increased feelings of confidence, resilience and self esteem.
