Feel your worries or disability are not understood or respected?
42nd Street’s DYP project is for anyone who identifies as having a disability and is 13-25 years old. You might want to talk things through with a worker on your own or you might want to meet new people and learn skills or feel more confident.
One to One Support:
Talk to a worker about the things affecting you. You can meet a worker at 42nd Street or somewhere near to where you live. The sessions are confidential and can help you to develop new coping strategies.
The kinds of things we can help with:
- Feeling worried, stressed and panicky
- Depression and feeling low
- Having scary thoughts and feelings
- Self-harm
- Problems in relationships
- How other people treat you
