Three early support hubs, which supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, have received extra funding from the Department of Health and Social Care as part of £8 million boost to this work. The three hubs are:
- Warrington Youth Zone Limited – Warrington
- YMCA St Helens – St Helens
- Young Persons Advisory Service – Liverpool
These vital hubs help young people get support with their mental health at an earlier stage. Available services include psychological therapies, specialist advice, as well as wider issues which may affect a young person’s mental health, including sexual health, exam worries, jobs, drugs, alcohol and financial worries,
