For many and varied reasons, people often need a little extra support at different times in their lives and the same is true of young people.
The Youth Agency’s individual support service steps in and steps up when young people need it most. Our staff are friendly, approachable and supportive, and are trained to help young people navigate the difficulties and issues they are facing.
Each young person who uses our individual support service receives the same level of compassion and understanding we like to show all our service users. We don’t set a time limit for support, meaning we can be there for a young person for as long as they need us. Neither do we follow a set programme, instead using a person-centred approach that allows young people to focus on the issues that are important to them.
Individual support in the last year has seen us support young people through many different scenarios including challenging family issues, bereavement, violent and aggressive behaviour, self-harm, low mood and lack of motivation, and anxiety among many other things.
Our aim is that young people can move forward in their lives and work towards to any goals they have set themselves.
