DiscoverME is VODA and Barnardo’s collaborative project that aims to support young people, aged 16-25, to better manage their mental health and wellbeing. It is a supportive space for young people to come along and learn new skills through different fun and engaging activities! Access to DiscoverME is free to all 16–25-year-olds living across North Tyneside.
Professionals/parents/carers are also able to express an interest on behalf of a young person via this form but only with their consent.
Some further information:
- There are no criteria for young people to join, just a willingness to get involved and learn some new skills!
- DiscoverME does not replace any existing Education provision.
- DiscoverME is offering non-clinical support.
- Young people can express their interest via our quick form.
- Once a young person has signed up, it is not compulsory that they attend a certain amount of sessions.
- There is no set time limit in place for young people to access the service. They can continue to attend up until the age of 25.
