We can help with
- No child should be left to deal with poor mental health alone so we provide services supporting children and young people's emotional health and wellbeing. We have centres where children and young people can visit and have a trained worker they can trust and talk to. We help them build their confidence and get to the root of their difficulties so they can feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.

- When life gets tough or unsafe at home, some children and teenagers need a caring adult to look after them until things can get better. That's why we find, prepare, train and support foster carers. We offer different types of foster care to make sure we can support and meet each child’s individual needs. This can range from offering a short, planned break to giving a child a stable and loving family setting for several months or years.
