Young Person's Advisory Services (YPAS)
Young Persons Advisory Service (YPAS) is a Liverpool-based charity providing free, confidential mental health and emotional wellbeing support to children and young people aged 5–25, as well as support for parents, carers and families.
Who we support
YPAS supports children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse, trauma, mental health difficulties, family challenges and other complex needs. We work with those at different levels of need, including early help and more targeted therapeutic support.
Through our WINGS Domestic Abuse Service, we provide specialist, trauma-informed therapeutic support for children and young people affected by domestic abuse. This includes one-to-one therapy to understand experiences, build coping strategies, improve emotional wellbeing and feel safer and more confident.
What we can help with
- Emotional wellbeing and mental health (including anxiety, low mood and trauma).
- Experiences of domestic abuse and family conflict.
- Building confidence, resilience and coping strategies.
- Support for parents and families.
- Access to safe, supportive spaces to talk and be heard.
Areas
- Knowsley
- Liverpool
- Sefton
Services are delivered from our three community hubs across Liverpool (city centre, north and south), as well as in schools, GP practices and community settings.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
Additional evening appointments may be available depending on the service.
Young people can access support directly or be referred by a professional.
