Getting help for your child can feel daunting and sometimes confusing. Our team consists of mental health practitioners who work in school and colleges. This means we are always on hand to help. If another service could support your child better, we can refer them.
We are here to help you too. To get in touch with the practitioner at your child’s school or college, please ask a teacher or another member of staff.
