What is the Medway Young Persons' Wellbeing service?
The Medway Young Persons' Wellbeing Service provides emotional wellbeing and mental health advice and support for young people and their families across Medway.
Our service is available to young people from the age of 0-18 (up until their 19th birthday) and up until the age of 25 for young people with special educational needs or as part of a wider network of support for children and young people in the care of the Local Authority.
The Medway Young Persons' Wellbeing Service offers advice and support for:
- stress
- low mood
- depression
- anxiety
- self-harm
- difficult to manage behaviours as well as support for neurodevelopmental difficulties such as ADHD or ASD.
The way in which we offer support can differ from young person to young person as every journey is unique. We are currently leading the way with our innovations in digital support for young people and we have a number of resources available online. These are freely available and do not require a referral to our service.
For some young people their emotional well-being may be having a significant impact on their day to day life and in these cases we may offer a short period of face to face support either in 1:1 sessions or in a group.
