Gloucestershire: 'On Your Mind' mental health service for children and young people

 

On Your Mind Glos is a place for Children and Young People to turn to when you need help and support with your mental health but you aren’t sure where to go. They have an anonymous Mental Health Support Finder, which is also available via text, for anyone aged 0-25 that will help you find the most appropriate support options for you in Gloucestershire.

Young people, parents/carers or professionals working with young people can use the support finder but also look through the database of quality controlled mental health services contained within our List of Services Directory.

On Your Mind Glos also has some self help guides and resources designed for both young people and their families to provide general support and advice about self-care.
