Your local YIACS will offer a selection of services that are bespoke by design, to meet the specific needs of young people in your area.
Services usually include:
- An initial point of contact and a friendly welcome
- Assessment of your needs
- Information, advice and advocacy on your rights, health and wellbeing
- Access to psychological therapies, counselling, and specialist advice
- Signposting to information and referral to other services
- Monitoring and evaluation of progress
Ensuring that YIACS are designed and run effectively according to evidence, good practice and young people’s voices is a central goal of our strategy.
We aim for YIACS to engage with and access more young people from least-heard worst-served groups.
