About us
We are an emotional health and wellbeing service delivered by Action for Children
Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes it’s a struggle to deal with.
The help we offer is based on listening to children, young people and their families or carers. Together, we talk about what the problem might be. This way, we can explore new solutions and make positive changes.
We want to make sure all young people can find out what we offer. Download information in symbol format.
