Did You Know?

  • One in ten children between the ages of one and 15 has a mental health disorder.
  • 20% of children have a mental health problem in any given year, and about 10% at any one time. 
  • Among teenagers, rates of depression and anxiety have increased by 70% in the past 25 years

At times children, young people and their families may need some extra support to help them understand their feelings, emotions or behaviours. We believe that offering this support early on in life can help in improving outcomes for children, young people and their families.  We provide a range of services to support children and young people aged 3-16 years as well as their parents or carers.  We work in an integrative way using a range of approaches that are appropriate for the child, young person and family.
