Wellbeing Together South West Partnership

Space counselling and art therapy 

It is good to have different people in your life you can talk to. Sometimes it can be good to talk to someone who is not in your family or one of your friends. You can meet in a place you feel safe and supported, normally either in your school or at the Broomhouse Hub.  As you get to know the counsellor or therapist them you might want to share your problems, worries and things that are going on in your life.

If you find it hard to open up and discuss your feelings you can choose activities like drawing, painting, clay, play, and telling stories. This can help you to make sense of your emotions and support your wellbeing.

Mental health and wellbeing workshops

Learning about how to look after your mental health is an important skill for everyone to have. These workshops are for 11 to 18 year olds and will cover topics on mental health such as Understanding and Managing Stress and Anxiety. You will also learn other ways to look after your own mental health, how to seek help and how to support others. The workshops are offered in a range of venues and times to young people aged 11 to 18 years and parents/carers.

Time for Me

Sometimes it can be good to talk to an adult who is not in your school or home. Especially if you have lots of difficult feelings and worries. Time For Me will give you time and space to think about and learn how your thoughts, feelings and what you do are all linked. Practicing understanding these links can help you to feel better and have more confidence in dealing with life’s ups and downs. The course can be with just you and another adult or as part of a group.

This eight-session life skills course is for young people aged 11 to 18 years who are finding things tough but aren’t currently receiving support from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). 

Sessions can take place in school, in your local area, or online, and can be one to one or in a small group. 

Big Hearts - That’s me

Do you sometimes struggle with your mental health or have strong feelings about things that have happened in your past? That’s me is a teenager service in Edinburgh that can offer you either individual support or support as part of a group. You would meet an adult at Tynecastle Park in a safe and supportive environment, where you can share your problems, worries and things that are going on in your life. This can help you to make sense of your emotions, reduce distress and support your wellbeing.

There is also the option to meet other young people in groups where you can have fun and do physical activities together.

Big Hearts - Welcome through football

If you are a refugee or migrant now living in Edinburgh it can be difficult to make new friends, learn the language and cope with the many changes and challenges. This programme is designed to make settling in easier and happier. You will have the chance to meet other young people aged 15 to 24 years to play football and other group activities. You can also get one-to-one support with education, employment and volunteering.
