About this service
The Youth Emotional Support service, usually called YES, offers free, confidential emotional support to young people aged 11 to 18 in West Sussex who are struggling with worry, low mood, relationships or the effects of something difficult that has happened. Support is usually short-term and one-to-one, with sessions that focus on coping and understanding feelings rather than diagnosis. Young people are usually referred by a GP, mental health service or school nurse, though it is always worth asking what the current route in is.
