(Direct Emotional Health work and Listening Support)The Youth Commission offers free, confidential one-to-one support around emotional health
and well-being.
These sessions take place in a safe space that is best for the young person, at our rooms in The Hub, in school or out in the community.
We can also signpost and provide information, advice and guidance.

If you are aged between 11 and 17 you can click the button at the top of our website, we can then help you in person with any necessary forms.
PLEASE NOTE: The Support team meet weekly to discuss all new referrals. We will be in contact within 10 days to discuss your referral.
Mentoring
(Trained volunteers who support young people in the community)We know that some young people prefer to talk while they’re doing something they enjoy. Our mentors are trained volunteers who support young people in the community. Sessions might involve going for a walk, taking part in an activity, or enjoying a hot chocolate together.
Mentors offer a safe space and a positive role model for young people.
Mentors support young people aged 11 – 17 years around anything and everything that's happening
in their lives.
