One-to-One Support
We know that coming straight into groups can be daunting, so we have times available in the week when you can chat with our Mental Health First Aid-trained Support Manager.
The sessions aim to provide a confidential space to chat and help with overcoming the barriers you may have around isolation and loneliness. This is not counselling, but can cover universal strategies around wellbeing and mindfulness, or just be a space to chat.
Our one-to-one support services are designed to provide compassionate and comprehensive assistance to young people experiencing loneliness and mental health challenges, empowering them to lead fulfilling and connected lives.
Please Note:
Sessions are booked for 40 minutes through a booking link, which can be in person or via Teams/phone. You can book for a maximum of one hour per day.
