Project name: Bethany UpStream with CashBack for Communities
Age range: 10-25 years
Upstream with CashBack for Communities is a community-based early intervention support service for young people with mental health struggles. We aim to improve mental health and reduce risk factors of homelessness taking root in their lives, including: trauma, bereavement and relationship breakdown.
We provide counselling and therapeutic interventions, as well as clinical psychology for young people in Glasgow. The project is connected to over 11 local referral and partner agencies to deliver a service that is free and accessible to young people with wide ranging needs, yet little or no recourse to early intervention due to barriers like stigma, school refusal, not meeting diagnostic criteria, statutory waiting times, and low income.
Our activities include:
- A combination of one-to-one sessions, family sessions, or group work
- Blocks of weekly groups that aim to improve young people’s soft skills
Throughout the year, we also aim to offer opportunities for young people and their families to take part in trips and events.
