On the right tracks: A guide to commissioning counselling services for young people

1 Apr 2014

This guide provides updated commissioning guidance for counselling services for young people published by Youth Access.

This publication supports commissioning guidance on Transitions published by the Joint Commissioning Panel of the Royal College of GPs and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. 

It will be of particular interest to commissioners and funders, including independent funders who are interested in the following:

  • Supporting and improving young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Offering early intervention and prevention services for young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Tackling gaps in provision for 16-25 year olds who often fall between the responsibilities of youth and adult statutory services
