BE YOU Emotional Wellbeing Support

Emotional wellbeing support for parents and carers of children and young people in the trailblazer areas of Ashington, Bedlington, Hexham, Blyth or being home schooled.

Children and Young People have suffered massively due to the pandemic and restrictions which increases the pressure on parents - who are already going through a hard time at the moment, so please spread the word. This is time-limited, the funding is only available to run sessions this year, but hopefully, if the need is there those in charge will see that this sort of help is needed for longer than a year. 

Northumberland has been selected as one of 25 Trailblazer areas to develop programmes that improve young people’s mental health and the ‘Be You’ team was created by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust and Northumberland County Council with the aim of offering emotional health and wellbeing support to children, young people and adults giving them access to information and services.  Cygnus Support is part of this bigger team providing mental and emotional support at the earliest signs of needing help.

If you have any questions or want to talk to Amanda please call on 07377265036 or email amandasayers@cygnussupport.com; if you want to read more here’s the link to the Cygnus Be You web page Welcome to Cygnus Support and the NHS Trailblazers Be You web site Homepage | NHS Trailblazers (beyounorthumberland.nhs.uk)
