Children and Young People’s Services
Buckinghamshire Mind’s provision for children and young people consists of two services:

We work with children aged four to 18 years old in various settings, including: infant, primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, youth clubs and sports clubs. We deliver a range of educational sessions including: assemblies, workshops and full training days. Find out more
This service is available to both primary and secondary schools in Buckinghamshire. Our team will deliver training to sixth formers or Year 5/6 in mental health awareness and help them become Peer Supporters to the students in younger years. Find out more
