Mental Health Support Team (Mind)

Mental health challenges affect about 1 in 5 children and young people. They include depression, anxiety and challenging behaviour, and are often a direct response to what is happening in their lives. Evidence shows that across the UK, mental health challenges in young people are increasing. Our services are designed to provide timely, compassionate, and expert support to help young people navigate these challenges and build resilience.

Children and young people services:
