Children counselling service given funding boost

Fri, 08 Jul 2022

A free confidential one-to-one counselling service for those aged 10 to 25 years-old will now be able to reach more young people in the Island.

That’s after Relate Isle of Man, which champions the importance of strong and healthy relationships, received a grant of £24,000 as it endeavours to reduce waiting lists for its services.

Manx Lottery Trust has awarded the organisation funding for its specialised young people’s service which has seen demand double in the past six months alone.

The one-to-one sessions can be held face-to-face, by telephone or Zoom, whichever suits the young person best. They are held weekly until the individual is in a better place and young people are always welcome to return for help if they require it.
