At Barca-Leeds, we are passionate about nurturing positive emotional wellbeing and our Children, Young People and Families services provide support year-round to improve social, emotional and mental health. To mark the Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re spotlighting our Headingley and Kirkstall Family Support Service which supports children, young people and their parents to overcome barriers preventing them from achieving positive outcomes. The service provides practical support including advocacy between school, family and services and emotional wellbeing support which helps them to address problems they may be facing such as parental substance misuse, low school attendance and poor mental health.
“I can now focus on the more positive things in our lives.”
“I have felt seen, heard and understood.”
