• Children and young people up to their 19 birthday and
• Up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) 

Through the Emotional Wellbeing Hub we can:

• Offer you advice and guidance.
• Discuss your concerns / needs with us.
• Provide onward referral/advice for local support services including Primary Mental Health Team 4 Youth (PMHT4Y), ARC Youth Counselling and Tellmi app - free online peer support.

Primary Mental Health Team 4 Youth (PMHT4Y)

The Primary Mental Health Team 4 Youth are our partners within NHS Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust, working in the same location as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). They are a small team who provide low intensity mental health support to children and young people. For example they may work with a young person who is struggling with worries and low mood through 4 to 8 support sessions.  

For children under the age of 11, intervention is typically focused on working with parents, as evidence shows this provides the best long-term results.
