We know that poor mental health can be linked to homelessness as both a symptom and a cause.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our free counselling service offers a safe space for young people aged 16-25 to address concerns like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Feeling down, stressed, low or anxious<\/li>\n
  • Coming to terms with a bereavement, relationship breakdown, or loss of any kind<\/li>\n
  • Dealing with anger, frustration, or when feelings are out of control<\/li>\n
  • Problem solving skills and understanding things differently<\/li>\n
  • Feeling stuck or lacking direction in life<\/li>\n
  • Developing resilience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We can offer young people:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A safe space where to be listened to, not judged or criticised<\/li>\n
    • Between 6 and 12 sessions free of charge<\/li>\n
    • The opportunity to talk to someone of family and friends<\/li>\n
    • Assistance to work out solutions to problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Counsellor Laura says: \u201cAdolescence and young adulthood are challenging life stages. We experience numerous psychological and physical changes and we are introduced into the \u201cadult world\u201d. Having a private space where young people can focus on themselves can be incredibly valuable when facing difficulties.<\/p>\n

      \u201cAt Depaul UK, we often work with young people who lack a solid support structure that they can rely on when going through transitions and difficulties. Many of them come from families who are going through a lot of hardship. Many of them are homeless. Having one hour a week of dedicated time in a safe space, where they feel valued and seen can be an empowering and changing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
