Description
Listen & Link is an early intervention phoneline service for children, young people and families who have concerns for the mental wellbeing of a child or young person in their household. Or, the child or young person may be worried about their own mental wellbeing. The service is operated by 3 family support workers within Children and Families.
The service is self-referral. This means a young person or adult can make the call or email, directly to the Listen and Link. Or someone they trust can make the call or email on their behalf, asking Listen & Link to make contact.
