Youth Mental Health
Why does it work?
Young people have been involved in identifying the need, understanding the difficulties, designing the service and producing the service.
Timely
Easy to access, places the young person at the centre and in control.
i-Rock Youth Mental Health Service
On Friday 20th March i-Rock had to close it’s doors to respond to social distancing guidelines.
We recognise that young people have fewer contacts with support networks
from friends through to teachers, coaches
and GP’s.
We have sought alternative ways to reach young people and offer support in
ways that young people are most likely
to engage.
