Oldham young people’s mental health support team

We can help with mild to moderate mental health difficulties, such as anxiety and low mood. This means problems that are starting to affect everyday life but can often improve with early help.

There are three main ways we help:

• One-to-one or group support for young people, parents or carers
• Advice, guidance, and signposting to other services
• Working with schools and colleges to support pupils and staff wellbeing

You can be referred by your school mental health lead or link worker. We will look at your needs to make sure the right support is offered.

We also support parents and carers, to help you understand and respond to your child’s difficulties.

You can read these guides for more information about who we are and how we can help:

• Guide for children (primary school)
• Guide for teenagers (secondary school and college)
• Guide for parents and carers

We're based in 61 schools and colleges across Oldham. We work closely with your school staff and parents, to make sure you benefit from joined-up support.

Most schools and colleges are covered by Pennine Care NHS staff. Those specified otherwise are covered by staff from Tameside, Oldham, Glossop and Stockport (TOGS) Mind or Place2Be.
