Supporting Young People to Mentally and Emotionally Thrive.
At any time 1 in 5 young people will be experiencing poor emotional health.
Any one can experience poor emotional health just like physical illness but the chance is increased with Adverse Childhood Experiences.
Achieve Change and Engagement (a.c.e.) is a mental health charity based in Lancaster currently covering Lancaster District which includes Morecambe, Carnforth and rural areas.
a.c.e supports children and young people (CYP) aged 10 to 25 , who are experiencing poor mental health which is impacting negatively on their emotional wellbeing, resilience and ability to thrive, following one or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
We accept referrals into our service from young people, their parents/carers, G.P.s, school staff, school nurses, social care, police and other statutory or voluntary CYP services.
We offer mainly individual sessions to CYP. All our work is person centred and tailored to the needs, learning styles and interests of the CYP, building on their strengths and abilities. The CYP receives support for as long as they need it. We work collaboratively with families and schools. We have practitioners with experience of supporting neurodiverse CYP and those that identify as LGBTQI+.
a.c.e. is a trauma aware service, working towards being a trauma informed service. We place the CYP at the centre of all we do and work in partnership with them, in a safe non-judgemental environment.
