The service will offer face to face counselling at various locations across the county to young people aged 11-18 years who present with mild to moderate emotional wellbeing and mental health needs.
The service will also offer online counselling via a new counselling and mental health support platform called “e-wellbeing”.
A new development within the service will be the delivery of a group work programme. YMCA DLG will be working with key partners in developing an integrated group work programme for young people which should be available in specific locations towards the end of the year.
