Stay Well is a mental health service which supports children aged 8-18. We are made up of 3 providers: Changes YP, North Staffs Mind and the Dove Service.
We offer various psychoeducational workshops to help children to understand any distress they are feeling, learn tools on how to manage it, and have the opportunity to talk to others. We also offer many Peer Support Groups for all ages where young people can come to discuss how their week has been and how they have been feeling, and get support from each other and from a Wellness Coach. Additionally, we offer social events for young people to interact with other young people and to have some fun, we do Art Nights and Games Nights, and hope to do further socials over summer.
There is also access to 1:1 counselling with North Staffs Mind and the Dove Service.
