Children, young people and their families enjoyed the YPAS Plus Community Hub’s open days last week.

December 23, 2016

The open days at the South Hub were a huge success.

The hubs, which will provide a range of services and links to health, education and social care supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing needs of the community, are the latest addition to the Liverpool Child Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Partnership offer.

Funded by NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group, this South Liverpool setting in Childwall is the first of two new hubs – the second in the north of the city is due to open later in 2017. Alongside the established city-centre location, these three hubs will bring voluntary and statutory agencies together for the benefit of children, young people and their families.

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
