How to access support

Kernow Connect provides support services to Young People aged 11-19 and those up to 25 for Young People with a Special Educational Need or Disability. There are a range of services that you can access from Youth Groups in your Community to Face-to-Face support. The image below outlines all of these services.

 

‘Universal’ offer

This means any Young Person can access these services.

How to access? You can take a look at our Facebook page, Instagram page and the tab ‘What’s On’ tab here on our website for more information about these services

 

‘Targeted’ offer

Targeted support is designed for Young People who require a little bit of extra support. This might include some group work or 1:1 youth work around building confidence and self-esteem or supporting your emotional wellbeing. 

How to access?

If you’re a young person and looking for someone to talk to, you can ring or text us on the number below, we will take your details and get a Youth Worker to contact you within 5 working days. Our telephone number is manned during office hours (9am – 4:30pm). If you call/text outside of these hours leave a message with your contact details and we will get back to you within 5 working days.

‘Specialist’ offer 

We are now accepting referrals for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with our Well-being Practitioner Service in all areas in Cornwall, other than Caradon. Due to a reduction in our Well-being Practitioner team, we are no longer in a position to offer support in the Caradon area.

We are expecting a high demand for this service, therefore once we have received a certain number of referrals for each locality, we will update the referral page to inform you that capacity has been met and no further referrals can be received.

Kernow Connect's Dreadnought Service are offering counselling support throughout Cornwall, at limited availability (please check our referral page for any updates) .

Our Specialist services are designed for Young People who need support with their mental health. We offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Counselling for Young People that meet a certain criteria.

Alternatively, please contact the Early Help Hub for alternative provision. If a young person is in need of low-level youth work support, they can get in touch with us directly using the information in the Getting Support in the section above under Targeted.

Please check this page in the coming weeks for updates regarding our re-opening. Thank you
