About the service

At any time, pupils at school may need additional emotional support, beyond the pastoral care that can be offered by teachers – and we know that when a child feels safe and supported in their school environment, they are better able to learn. Action Mental Health are working with the Education Authority to provide counselling in post primary schools across NI. We provide individual & group counselling as well as drop-in sessions during the school term. 

Community Counselling is also available for young people through the HOPE programme.
