The Full Circle

Do you want help to cope with how you feel, or want someone to talk to, when a lot is changing around you?

The Full Circle, specialist therapeutic service for children and young people team can arrange sessions with you to talk through what's going on, and how you are feeling. Together, you can work on what you want from the sessions, and put a plan in place to get this.

If people around you, such as your social worker or supported lodging provider need support to help you, this group can put this support in place.

Whatever you talk about will be confidential between yourself and the person you speak with at The Full Circle.

How to contact The Full Circle

If you think you The Full Circle may help you, speak to your social worker or your YPA and ask them to contact us.
