Brief Intervention Counselling

Medway Council's Youth Services team wish to continue an ongoing brief intervention counselling project, to provide early intervention counselling to members of our youth community. These counselling sessions will be based in our youth clubs and community facilities.

The counsellor(s) will work with young people and the parents of carers who have been referred to the service via social workers, schools, Family Solutions and community partners.

One aim of this service is to offer support to young people who do not meet the CAMHS threshold for tier 3 support, enabling earlier support and intervention for young people with lower level needs to prevent escalation.
