Emotional Wellbeing Hub

What is the Emotional Wellbeing Hub?

The Emotional Wellbeing Hub provides free support and advice. We provide a central point of contact for young people, families, and professionals to access mental health services.

This service is for people who have concerns about the emotional or mental health of a child or young person aged between 0 and 19 years. The service is also available if you're a young person needing support.

How the hub can help

Through the Emotional Wellbeing Hub we can:

• Offer you advice and guidance.
• Discuss your concerns / needs with us.
• Provide onward referral/advice for local support services including Primary Mental Health Team 4 Youth (PMHT4Y), ARC Youth Counselling and Tellmi app - free online peer support.                  

Please note, we can only refer on to PMHT4Y as other services have their own referral routes.

Support for schools and professionals

We provide training and support for schools and professionals, to identify emotional wellbeing and mental health needs and prevent the support needs becoming more severe.

We also run a regular Emotional Wellbeing Forum for professionals, to help identify the best way to meet the needs of children and young people and their families. 

The Forum is a regular meeting where a range of professionals can talk about the needs of children.

We are unable to accept urgent or emergency referrals or queries.
