Some of the ways which we can help are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Counselling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Counselling is a safe and supportive way for young people and their families to talk about feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It\u2019s a space where you can express yourself without judgment, explore challenges you\u2019re facing, and learn ways to cope with them. Whether you\u2019re feeling stressed, anxious, or just need someone to listen, a counsellor can help you understand your feelings and find solutions. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more information about our counselling service by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-is-Counselling.pdf\">downloading our leaflet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (HICBT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a more detailed form of support for young people dealing with moderate to severe mental health issues like strong anxiety or depression. In regular sessions with a therapist, you\u2019ll dive deeper into your thoughts and feelings to understand them better. This therapy helps you develop personalised strategies to overcome your challenges, often using specific techniques to face your fears. High intensity CBT can lead to real changes and improvements in your mental well-being, giving you the tools to create a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more information about our HICBT by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-is-HI-CBT.pdf\">downloading our leaflet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a helpful way to manage feelings of anxiety, stress, or sadness. This type of therapy focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviours into more positive ones. It\u2019s delivered in a relaxed way, through short sessions, making it easy to get involved. Low intensity CBT teaches you practical skills to handle challenges and feel better about yourself. It\u2019s a great tool for anyone looking to improve their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more information about our LICBT by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-is-LICBT.pdf\">downloading our leaflet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Systemic Family Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Systemic family practice is a way for families to understand and improve their relationships. It focuses on how family members influence each other\u2019s feelings and behaviours. In this practice, a therapist helps everyone in the family share their thoughts and experiences, making it easier to address issues like self-harm or difficult behaviour. By working together, families can identify patterns and find solutions to their challenges, leading to better communication and stronger bonds. This approach helps create a positive home environment where everyone feels supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more information about Systemic Family Practice by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/Copy-of-What-is-SFP-v2.pdf\">downloading our leaflet.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parent-Led Interventions for Anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parent-led interventions for anxiety help parents take an active role in supporting their children who may be feeling anxious. This approach teaches parents strategies to understand what makes their child anxious and how to help them cope. By learning how to create a calming environment and encourage open conversations, parents can guide their children through their anxiety. This teamwork helps children build confidence and resilience, leading to a happier, more supportive family dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more information about Parent-led interventions for anxiety by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/Parent-Led-CBT.pdf\">downloading our leaflet.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parent-Led Interventions for Conduct Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parent-led interventions for conduct issues focus on helping parents manage challenging behaviours in their children, like being aggressive or defiant. This approach gives parents practical strategies to understand the reasons behind their child\u2019s behaviour and create a positive home environment. Parents learn how to set clear rules and expectations, reward good behaviour, and deal with negative actions consistently. By working together, parents and children can improve behaviour and strengthen their relationship, leading to a happier family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investing in Play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in play is all about recognising how important play is for children\u2019s development and happiness. Play isn\u2019t just for fun; it helps children express themselves, learn new skills, and work through their feelings. By encouraging both unstructured and guided play, parents can help children build creativity, social skills, and stronger relationships. Investing in play allows children to develop resilience and confidence, making it easier for them to handle challenges and enjoy their childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/support-right-three.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/get-involved\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alliancepsychology.com\/cypf\/wp-content\/uploads\/support-footer.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-114\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding your mental health Growing up in today\u2019s world can feel overwhelming at times.
