How to access support services in your ABUHB area

As a parent or carer, if you are concerned about your child’s mental health and wellbeing, you can seek routine advice and support in a number of different ways:

·         you can approach your child’s school who have access to mental health professionals,

·         you can approach your GP or any other professional already involved with you and your family, or

·         you can self-refer directly to S.P.A.C.E Wellbeing - the Single Point of Access for Children’s Emotional (S.P.A.C.E) Wellbeing.
