Mental health help

On the BBC news today it has been reported schools are struggling to get mental health help. A survey has been carried out to mark the Children's Mental Health Week- found 44% of head teachers said knowing what type of support was needed was a barrier to them providing mental health support for pupils. 

Here at Y.E.S we provide local schools with a counselor, we acknowledge we need more counselors at more schools, however at the agency we offer counselling to 13-25 year olds. If you have a son, daughter or yourself feel you need to speak to someone please get in touch. 

NEW Sexual Health Clinic at YES

Happy New Year everyone!

We have a NEW Sexual Health Clinic here at YES, open on Mondays 2.30-5.30pm.
