    If you are aged 13 to 25, living in Manchester, Salford, Trafford or Tameside/Glossop and under stress, or know someone who is, we might be the service for you.

    At 42nd Street we believe that a range of different approaches can be effective in responding to young people's mental health needs and this is reflected in the variety of services we offer.

    As well as therapy, counselling and individual support, we offer a wide range of youth work interventions including groups and arts-based projects. All our services to young people are free and confidential.

    The 42nd Street team recognises that many of you feel disempowered, that some services are difficult for you to identify with and access and that your mental health and personal difficulties can be made worse by the health, social, cultural and economic inequalities that you might experience.

    We will do all we can to make you feel listened to, valued, included, safe and unique.

    What support can I get?

    One to one support

    We offer a variety of one to one support options and in addition to face to face and video sessions, you can also access sessions through our online webchat support from wherever you feel the most comfortable.

    We also have an online drop-in you can access each Wednesday.

    The role of a Senior Family Support Practitioner is very varied, they provide support to vulnerable families at an early intervention level by utilising multi-agency working through the Early Help Assessment process, alongside assertive working methods to empower families to address their problems in a way that sustains positive change across social, environmental and economic areas and prevent new problems arising.

    We deliver regular parenting courses such as Incredible Years and Escape. IncredibleYears courses are usually run starting January, March and September. 

    We also hold a caseload of families that require intensive family support. As part of our work with the other Area Family Support Teams we also work with families that have been deescalated from child protection and  child in need sometimes co-working the case if intensive parenting/ child interventions are needed that are not being provided by other services.

    We also provide support to other professionals around the Early help process and provide advice re behaviour management and child emotional regulation.

    We also sit on the weekly panel providing support for practitioners with cases requiring guidance from a multi-agency team approach as well as providing agencies with a forum to discuss referrals for early family support. Cases for referral support by the team will be allocated or declined at this panel meeting.

    Trafford Psychological Therapies provides talking therapy for adults of all ages: it is free, confidential, and proven to be effective. Referral is via GP or other healthcare provider or self-referral. We provide talking therapies for those experiencing difficulties with anxiety and depression based presentations.

    • Are you feeling low, and it just won’t shift?
    • Do you worry excessively: have a head full of 'what if's?
    • Are you stressed or anxious, everyday?
    • Do you have panic attacks? Feel afraid to leave home? Can’t be on your own?
    • Are you always anxious when around other people?
    • Are you worried about your health, despite reassurance from doctors?
    • Are you tormented by unwanted intrusive thoughts and the need to repeat behaviours, pushed around by the internal bully of OCD?
    • Do you have flashbacks of frightening past events?
    • Are you your own worst enemy, always harsh and critical of yourself?
    • Do you find it hard to manage your anger?
    • Do past events still negatively affect how you think of yourself and other people?

    If the answer is “yes” to one or more of these questions then you are not alone. There are 30,000 people in Trafford struggling in silence with the impact of such emotional difficulties.

    Trafford Psychological Therapies provides talking therapy for adults of all ages: it is free, confidential, and proven to be effective. You do not have to endure this unnecessary suffering.

    We try to provide everybody with a first appointment within four weeks.

    Our counsellors can help you if you are between 5 and 17 years old.

    We know you face lots of challenges. It may be massive changes in your home life, problems at school, problems with friends, bullying, lack of confidence, low self-esteem.

    When it's difficult to cope everything can feel as if it's going wrong. You might find yourself feeling angry all the time, or tearful and upset at the slightest thing, or you pull away from everyone and feel very alone and isolated, as if everything is hopeless. You might not feel like eating, or find yourself eating all the time. Your sleep could be broken by nightmares and you feel bad about yourself and maybe even want to hurt yourself.

    These are strong feelings. We can help.

    We offer a safe place to talk and help you to understand what is happening to you and get you back on track. You can tell your story in a variety of ways - you may wish to talk or, for example, you may prefer to draw or paint. It's ok to be quiet too if sometimes you don't feel like talking.

    It's ok to talk about your feelings, whatever they are. Your counsellor will not be shocked, angry or upset. Anything you tell us is kept in confidence (except when we are really concerned about your safety) unless you tell us it is ok to pass something on.

    You can contact us yourself or your parent or carer can do it for you. If you are under 14 an adult must come to the centre with you, though they don't have to come in with you to see the counsellor.

Our therapists can use a variety of counselling approaches to help you work through your problems or distress, such as Person Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused therapy, Art therapy. Everybody is different so Brook counsellors have many ways of working with lots of different young people to help you become the best of who you are – to realise your potential and create the life you want to live!

    • Plan: Based on information gathered - plan for a realistic small reintegration
    • Do: Ensure rsources and support is in place with good communication with school, family and others
    • Review: Monitor the pogress made and adjust the plan for next steps

    We work at different levels, providing support to:

    • individual children and young people (casework)
    • groups of children through whole class interventions
    • vulnerable groups through support to the Virtual School
    • Early Years settings via the Feelgood Nursery offer

    We also support at the level of the whole setting through delivery of training and projects, for example the Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) project.

     

    Prioritising and types of work

    Our work is prioritised and agreed during regular, termly consultations with key school staff. We may carry out direct individual assessments and/or interventions to support individual children or work in a consultative way with staff to support the needs of one child or a wider group of children. 

    Please note: As we are a traded service, commissioned by educational settings we are unable to take parental referrals, please talk to your school’s SENCo if you have concerns.

    Individual assessment work can include class observations, consultations with teaching staff and parents/carers as well as work with other professionals where appropriate. Outcomes identified as the result of assessment are co-produced with parents and school staff.

    Direct assessments are summarised in a report which is completed and circulated to schools, parents/carers, and other agencies as appropriate.

    Further information about the role of the Educational Psychologist can be found by following this link: Educational Psychology - edpsy.org.uk

    Engage Trafford is an early intervention programme that is commissioned by Trafford Council, as part of their early help offer. We work with young people aged 8-18 (up to 25 if SEND), who reside in the borough of Trafford and provide support to those identified as: expressing low aspirations for their future, defined as being NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), struggle managing their anger, participating in negative and/or risk-taking behaviours, and expressing challenging behaviours at home and/or in school or college. Mentoring sessions are arranged weekly and are on average 1 hour in length, with the time young people spend on programme varying between 8-16 weeks (8-16 sessions). Most young people accessing the service receive 12 weeks worth of support (12 sessions).

    Support is provided via place-based group work (2 staff members, max. of 8 young people – similar need and age) or 1:1’s, both of which are seen in equal measure in terms of the support the young people will be accessing. When a referral is received, the referrer will be asked for their preference and whilst we will try our absolute best to accommodate, we cannot guarantee which form of support the young person will receive. 

    Across the course of the programme, young people will focus on developing new skills and attitudes to promote their resilience, problem solving capabilities and increase aspirations. Thus, ensuring that the outcomes achieved can be sustained once their time on Engage Trafford comes to an end. To increase the likelihood of this, young people will be referred and introduced to a range of universal services, local community groups and clubs, allowing for a more effective transition away from professional involvement.

    We deliver our services at the point of need, providing support at home, in school or other appropriate venues, such as community centres. All support and activities are free of charge.
