Specialist Counselling Service for children and young people

A new service has launched to support children and young people aged 5-18 years (or up to 25 if in receipt of an Education, Health and Care Plan) in response to COVID-19 and an increase in demand for mental health support.

The specialist early intervention service will support children and young people with emerging mental health issues living in Southend with:

• low level depression
• anxiety
• low mood
• worries and concerns arising from COVID-19.

If you want to access this service for yourself or someone you know, you can call 01245 348 707 or email cypcounselling.kidsinspire@nhs.net.
