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. ​
