Psychological Hub - keeping families together (DRAFT)

Specialist support for children, young people and families.

We bring various types of help together in one place, called the Psychological Hub, so that you can access the right support more easily.

We can support children, young people and families when:

  • relationships are breaking down and a child may go into care
  • a child is in care and has a plan to return home
  • a child is avoiding school or at risk of losing their school place because of their emotional wellbeing
  • a child might harm themselves or take their own life
  • a child has shown harmful sexual behaviour and needs specialist support
  • a child is in care, leaving care, or living in a special guardianship or kinship family
  • a child is an unaccompanied asylum-seeking young person who feels stressed or isolated
