We provide a service with four distinguishing features:
- We work with a defined age group. We know how to meet young people 'where they are' and we know the different needs of children, teenagers and young adults.
- We work for a client for as long as they wish. Some problems can be cleared up quickly, some issues affect our whole life and they take longer to work through. There is no pressure to 'hurry up'.
- We work with families, parent and child or just the parent if that is in the interest of the child.
- We work from a number of sites across Bristol so as to make journeys as easy as possible.
- We ask clients to make a contribution to our costs. We ask clients to consider a sum between £1 and £35. We ask them to choose an amount that reflects that they are getting a professional service, but would also never be a reason for not attending. For some people even £1 is too much. Don't worry - we never refuse to help. The people that can afford a little more help to cover the costs of those who can not, and it works; This year we will offer over 1500 appointments to distressed young people.
