How YFSS works

We arrange to visit at a time that suits you. We will visit you in your home or community, unless you would prefer a different location.

We offer short-to medium-term support to help you and your child:

• clarify your concerns
• find individual and family strengths
• link with community services
• develop strategies to manage current and future issues.

We also provide referrals to other services for specialist, long-term support. We work closely with other community agencies to make sure that your support is coordinated.

We can also offer you and your child the opportunity to participate in-group sessions, such as:

• changing habits and reaching targets
• aggression replacement training
• parent support
• other areas of need.

Our service operates from 9am to 9pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) and from 9am to 6pm on Saturdays.
