Helping young people and their families

Our passion is helping young people and their families through their education.

Social isolation has the potential to have life-long consequences on the confidence, mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people and consequently their educational and employment success and life chances.

The Ladder Group works in partnership with community organisations, registered charities and health professionals to provide qualified, professionally registered and experienced social, emotional and mental health support. Our aim is to provide wellbeing, emotional and counselling support, online and face to face, for the young people and families in our community.

Emotional support, mentoring & counselling for:
