Children, Young People & Families
Every year our dedicated team helps thousands of local young people who are finding life hard.
From stress and anxiety, to depression and other more complex mental health problems, we’re here for children, young people, and their parents and guardians.
Our experienced team works in schools or with young people and families beyond the classroom offering support every step of the way.
Who is this service for?
We work with children from primary schools through to young people studying at college.
To access our support, you or the child or young person you’re responsible for must be:
- aged 5 to 18, or up to 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
- living in Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, or Darlington
What we can do to help you
We work with children and young people in lots of different ways.
If you're a young person struggling with your thoughts and feelings, you're not alone and we can help.
Sometimes we work directly with a school, or sometimes we can help parents by sharing knowledge and tools you can use.
There are three main projects we deliver.
