Working with services can be daunting

These films have been developed by young people with experience of working with services to help other young people make meaningful choices about their care, answer frequently asked questions and provide a balanced view, considering both the positive and negative of working with services.

Throughout the site we use the term therapist but this term could mean counsellor, doctor, worker, clinician or any mental health professional that you might work with.
