Wiltshire Children and Young People Emotional Wellbeing Service
We are the Wiltshire Children and Young People Emotional Wellbeing Service, provided by HCRG Care Group and funded by Wiltshire Council.
We believe in early intervention, providing support for children and young people before they face more serious mental health issues. With the right support, young people can transform their lives. Growing up is a challenge for everyone, but for some it's more difficult than others. We offer practical and emotional support so that young people can enter adulthood with the confidence they need to achieve their full potential.
This website has lots of information, practical tips and advice about supporting children and young people’s emotional wellbeing. We are here to help young people aged 5-18 registered with a GP in Wiltshire who are experiencing a range of early mental health difficulties through group work, activities in the community and counselling sessions for those young people who need more intensive support. We are also an all year round service and so our support does not stop in school holidays.
We welcome referrals from young people, parents/carers and professionals. If you want to contact the service about support options in Wiltshire please complete our contact form here or email our Single Point of Access (SPA) at vcl.wiltshirespa@nhs.net or call 0300 247 0090, Option 4 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).
