Understanding the Scope of Emotional Health Challenges

1 in 5 Young People Affected

Increased Risk with Adverse Childhood Experiences

a.c.e. currently offers the following:

Early Intervention/Emotional Wellbeing

Emotional Health Practitioners

Emotional Health Practitioners (EHP) support 10-25 year olds who have experienced a lower number of or less impactful ACE’s such as parental separation, short-term bullying, and relationship challenges. These challenges can, for example, result in low confidence and mood, anxiety, panic attacks, and school avoidance. Our EHP’s can help build the children or young person’s confidence, self-worth and resilience through talking and engaging in creative solution-focused activities and supporting the development of coping strategies

Trauma-Focused Counselling

The 3-phased trauma model of safety and stabilisation (working on coping strategies), processing the trauma memory (telling the story in a safe way), and consolidation and integration (bringing it all together to live a healthier, happier life) supports 10-18 year olds to work through traumatic experiences in a safe, collaborative space. Types of ACE’s which could relate to trauma work may include witnessing or experiencing abuse and/or neglect, being involved in an accident, familial incarceration, or substance/alcohol abuse.

Senior Emotional Health Practitioners

Senior Emotional Health Practitioners: Offer a range of methods to support the young person to improve their mental health and better manage their symptoms.  They work with low to medium levels of anxiety and depression, self-harming behaviours, sleep disturbances, poor self-image and relationships

1:1 Counselling

Counselling offers a non-judgemental holding space for 18-25 year olds, where challenges and issues can be explored. This is a ‘non-directive’ therapy meaning the client has full autonomy in what they talk about. Counselling can help people release and soothe their distress whether this be related to the past, present or the future. Note: We have both qualified and student counsellors at a.c.e.
