Due to the high volume of individuals on the waiting list and regular flow of referrals, it has been decided that Level Two are putting a pause of the counselling referrals. Should you/ a young person require 1-1 support please look at putting in a referral to our mentoring service.
If it is felt that counselling is needed, here are a few local services that also provide free counselling, some with a shorter waiting time:
Wellbeing and Mental Health – Inspire (inspiresuffolk.org.uk)
Footsteps – Walking With You | Counselling For 11-25’s| Suffolk (footstepswwy.org.uk)
Counselling for young people in Suffolk | – 4YP – For Children & Young People Charity
If more immediate contact is needed, here are some suggestions of what to do next:
- The Young person’s GP
- NHS First Response on 0808 196 3494 If you are feeling unsafe, distressed or worried about your mental health.
