About the one-to-one support service

This service exists to support children and young people who may be struggling with issues such as health and well-being, communication, behaviour and boundaries, aspirations, school and education. 

Our team is made up of qualified and experienced youth and community workers who will work with young people either one-to-one or in groups, for approximately 12 weeks. During this time young people will receive support from a professional youth worker in a needs-led and bespoke way. Support could include workshops, games, life skills, discussions and more. We also identify where young people may be in need of specialist support and refer them to the appropriate services.

To be eligible to access this service young people must:

• Live, study or work in Lewisham borough
• Be between the ages of 8 to 19, and up to 25 with special educational needs (priority will be given to those over the age of 13)
• Facing any issues relating to school, family or relationship problems, drug/alcohol concerns, behavioural needs, emotional well-being, keeping safe or anti-social behaviour.
