YMCA Trinity Group - Mental Health Services Team


Our Mental Health Programme Team offer a range of mental health services for schools and other settings including counselling, therapy, staff training and whole school approaches.

- "Counselling for YMCA is amazing and I would highly recommend it, with every day being different. The charity works across many settings providing an opportunity for personal development, growth, challenges, rewards; at the same time knowing that you are supported by a very strong team and organisation. As a counsellor, you can sometimes feel like an island, this is not the case with YMCA, with invites to attend CPD, meetings and peer supervision, you are part of a family and are valued."
