A youth wellbeing directory
About
The Youth Wellbeing Directory provides a list of free local and national organisations for anyone up to the age of 25.
On its homepage, a banner titled ‘Speak to someone’ provides clear contact for Samaritans and Childline services if a user is in crisis.
Key guidance
Make the Youth Wellbeing Directory banner clearly visible on the homepage.
Give the key contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses of a couple of organisations but don’t overload with too much content.
Mention when the services are available, including the days and times.
Risks
Make sure the organisations you are able to help the young people you are referring to them, e.g have capacity, resources and are still open.
