YPAS Walk-In Support Hub
YPAS Walk-In Support Hub (WISH) provides same-day mental health support for children, young people, and families in Merseyside. Formerly known as Alternative to Crisis drop-in, the service continues to offer the same support across all three hubs in Merseyside.
Their practitioners can support children, young people, and families with emotional wellbeing needs and advise on various practical support issues. They will provide information, advice, and guidance and, in some cases, offer low-intensity CBT-based support models.
Children, young people, and families attend the Walk-In Support Hub service for many different reasons. Some seek advice about services and what they offer, and some struggle with different feelings. This is what we would call a ‘self-defined’ crisis.
A child/young person/parent/carer can drop into any of our hubs below; you do not need an appointment or a referral to access this service.
