About Us

You Turn is a Youth Support Centre for young people aged 8 to 25 years with an emphasis on health and well-being. We are open to all local young people, although specialise in supporting those who are struggling with education, anxiety and low level mental health issues.

 

We offer early intervention mentoring, an opportunity to gain qualifications, skills development, resilience, work on relationships and confidence building. Most of our support is aimed at giving young people the tools to cope with life, supporting them to make their own decisions, to feel confident and believe in themselves.

 

We also recognise that support needs to be on-going, so we offer it for as long as needed – there are no time restrictions, each young person sets their own goals and staff are there to help them achieve them. Young people are involved in everything we do, they not only design their own programme, but shape what we deliver, when we deliver it and how.

 

You Turn is taking a pro-active move towards tackling these issues by recognising that an early intervention approach is essential.

 

Using a creative, sensitive approach, our aim is to raise young people's self esteem and confidence, giving stability, and a sense of belonging.
