Annual Review 2020-21
Children and Young People’s Service (CYP)
Our Children and Young People’s Service offers a mix of counselling, mental health support in schools, peer support and advice. That combination makes a difference.
During this year we expanded our counselling model
to enable volunteer counsellors and those needing a placement to support our part-time counselling staff to offer 892 counselling sessions. We have also offered our volunteer counsellors support and training to make their time with us a positive experience. The psycho-social model of Manchester Mind is seen as “an important and unique part of the service” and counsellors have valued being able to recommend other services, to the young people who they are working with, such as peer support.
Our work as part of Thrive in schools also expanded this year and we delivered 1282 one-to-one sessions, with young people in 6 schools across Manchester.
Being able to offer support close to where young people are has made a difference.
