Are you feeling worried, angry or upset? Struggling to cope? Stressed about school or exams? Feeling bad about yourself? Experiencing bullying or relationship worries? Or are you just feeling a bit low and not enjoying things?
Lots of young people feel this way, so you are not alone. Getting the right support as soon as possible can help you to feel better, enjoy life and achieve the things you want to.
Who is the service for?
#Thrive is for children and young people aged up to 19 years who are experiencing emotional health and wellbeing issues such as feeling stressed, worried or not enjoying things.
You must live, or be registered with a GP practice (doctor), in the Rochdale borough (which includes Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale).
#Thrive can also provide advice and support to parents, carers and anyone that works with a child or young person.
What type of support is available?
The service is very different to anything that’s currently available in the borough. We have lots of different types of support to help you with any emotional health and wellbeing issues you're having. We can also offer advice to improve your general lifestyle.
We can provide this support in lots of different ways, to make sure there is something suitable for everyone. We will always talk to you about what support will best meet your needs. We can offer more traditional types of support, such as one-to-one or group counselling sessions, or online courses.
We can also signpost and help you access other types of support, such as sport, drama, music or art. If we aren’t able to offer the right support, we can decide together what other options are available.
It is important to have a good support network around you, so we will always try to involve those who love and care for you (or who work with you) in any support we provide. This does not necessarily need to be your parents or siblings - it can be anyone who you trust, who provides support and care to you.
Within the full Thrive service you can find the following services:
