Who are you? Choose from one of the three options below.
We help the children and young people that we see, their families/carers, and their support network, which might include friends, teachers and social workers. Research and feedback from those who use our service tells us that working in this way is more likely to help children and young people get their lives back on track. The needs for each person and family may vary, so we have various approaches and kinds of support which we can use and tailor to the individual, to make their treatment most suitable for them. To find out more, check out our About Us page.
We also provide some specialist services for young people, adults and professionals. These services are called Children and Young People’s Services (ChYPS). To find out more, go to our What We Do page.
This website has a weather theme which is used as a metaphor (a way to describe) to show different moods and emotions. The focus is on tools we use to protect ourselves from weather conditions, instead of focusing on the challenge of changing weather.
For example if you look outside in the morning and see it’s raining, you will grab your umbrella and rain coat. The same applies if we wake up and don’t feel like ourselves, or are struggling with our mental health – what are the tools we can use to help us take on the day and manage the challenges we might face?
The illustrations on this website were drawn in a style without facial features or facial expressions so that you can decide what and who you think the image is showing. Mental health looks different for everyone so we wanted for you to be able to choose what you think the emotion and feeling behind the images are.
