Working with young people

Tyneside & Northumberland Mind doesn't just work with adults, we have projects specifically for young people.

These include:

Talent Match

The Talent Match programme works with young people aged 18-24 who are not in employment, education or training, with Tyneside and Northumberland Mind being the lead mental health partner for this project.

The young people will work with our Mental Health Youth Coach Aimee to design a tailor made plan to get them feeling more ready for work and look at getting into employment once they are ready.

We are able to provide financial support for the young people in areas such as training, qualifications, apprenticeships and much more.

To find out more about Talent Match, please email aimee.perry@tynesidemind.org.uk or phone Aimee on 0191 282 8130, or our main office on 0191 477 4545.

Real stories…

  • “Counselling gave me the chance to practice what I needed to say to someone who was making my life miserable. I learned that I have the right to express my needs and I learnt how to be assertive. Counselling has helped me to be brave. Thank you to my Counsellor. ”
