Washington Mind Young People’s Project offer 1-1 counselling and groupwork for young people aged 11+ who live within the City of Sunderland.
Counselling
Counselling is offered in a variety of venues across the City of Sunderland including, The Life House, PopRecs, and some schools and other community settings.
If you would like to make a referral for counselling, please make contact with us via telephone on 0191 417 8043, or click here to visit our website where you can download our referral form, we accept referrals from parents/carers, young people and professionals. You can also reach out to us via telephone or email if you are concerned about your child or a young person you are working with to discuss if our service can offer appropriate support at this time, and if not which organisation may be best suited to offer that support.
Wellbeing Resources & Groupwork
Our service continues to adapt, and is influenced primarily by the opinions and needs of young people. All of our best ideas come from them, such as; StrangeThings? Zine, our app Reasons2, our Mental Health Zine Library and the Young People’s area of our online directory (youngpeopleswellbeing.org). We are currently working with The Bunker in Sunderland to offer 6 free music lessons to young people aged 11+, supported by a young person’s counsellor.
Our Sunderland Teenage Market is a celebration of young local talent where we usually have live music and young entrepreneurs running their own market stalls. Open to all, come along and browse what our young traders have been making and have available for sale! We do recommend cash payments for these market days. If you’re 13-24 and want to hold a free stall at one of our upcoming markets, the process is all online and is very informal!
