WAY Beacons - Support Page

Whatever you are facing, 
let's do it together.

We are here for you.

Who are the WAY Beacons?

WAY Beacons are here to offer non-judgmental support to young people in a moment of crisis.

They are here to listen and help take positive steps forward despite the difficult situations that young people are facing.


By journeying with you in and outside the hospital we can help connect you to the right support in your community.

 

Who are the WAY Beacons for?

If you’re aged 10-25 and have attended the hospital with a concern – be it mental health related, substance misuse, violence or other risk-taking behaviour – we’re here to help.
