Each year MAP supports around 4,000 young people, addressing their emotional and social wellbeing, their mental health, and their practical needs. We provide:

 • counselling and other therapeutic services to address underlying mental health issues; to resolve specific problems or to cope with a crisis,

• youth work and informal education, positive activities, experiences and personal development programmes to help young people try new things, meet new people, gain confidence and learn new skills

• independent advice on housing, money, benefits, education, training, employment, sexual health, relationships, welfare rights and responsibilities

Many young people who come to us are disengaged from society or disadvantaged by their background or current situation; they may have had a difficult start in life; be experiencing mental health issues; or need advice about practical, financial or legal matters.  All of our services and free, confidential, independent and young-person centred.
