Young Persons

What is Young Person’s Service?

We offer one-to-one appointments for people to develop mental health and wellbeing plans based on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.

When you receive your referral, you will be assigned a Young Person’s Practitioner who will work with you to create a wellbeing plan and offer follow-up reviews. Appointments also include goal setting and recovery action plans, which can look at your triggers and early warning signs and help you identify coping mechanisms.

Appointments can also include advice and signposting with S&G Mind signposting to appropriate local agencies in the area.

CAMHS Step Down Programme

We work in partnership with CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) to support young people transitioning out of CAMHS at age 18, helping to ease the process and encourage greater independence.

What does support with the Young Persons service look like?

We follow the 5 Ways to Wellbeing Model (New Economics Foundation, NEF, 2008) which is an evidence-based model which includes five key messages around social relationships, physical activity, awareness, learning and giving. This has been spilt into: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give. We help you to create goals around the 5 Ways to improve your wellbeing, as well as developing your coping skills and signposting you to other services who can help you on your journey.
