It takes courage to ask for help. But for many young people who do, the support they need just isn’t there. Hundreds of thousands of young people are struggling with their mental health, but too many are being told to wait, struggling to cope and hitting a crisis point before they get help.

But things can get better. And we’re leading the movement for change.

Who we support?

The different terms used to describe the autism spectrum can be confusing and have changed over time. In recent years there have been changes to the systems that professionals use to make a diagnosis and diagnostic categories have changed. The most used term now is Autistic Spectrum Condition.

This means that people who have recently had an assessment are most likely to be given a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition.

Our community understands the challenges that ASC can bring. We have the knowledge, experience and passion to help individuals and families work through them towards a happier place with autism as a part of their daily lives.

Our mission is to create communities of support across Greater Manchester for people on the autistic spectrum which enable personal and professional development.

I AM - Celebrating Autism Greater Manchester

Set up to work with people with a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome or High Functioning Autism. We only work with people who have had an assessment and received a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition (or one of the previously used terms).

The Tipping Points
By Phil Anderton PhD
What professionals should recognise as the social impact of ADHD.
Retired police officer Phil Anderton brings us a unique book looking at how young people with poorly managed ADHD are at risk of following a path into crime, substance misuse, anti-social behaviour and personal danger, and outlines ways to reduce those risks with easy to follow and pragmatic text and checklists. The book, the first of its kind also has advice for magistrates and the police when coming into contact with these young people.
Order your copy now for
£9.99 plus £1.50 postage
You can buy it online now. Just click here

"As an adult who has ADHD, from childhood, and I have had my fair share of issues with the police and courts as a consequence, I really appreciate the interest in this subject being taken by Phil Anderton. This book should be read by anyone and everyone who deals with youngsters who have the disorder, if the people who looked after me had recognised my Tipping Points and done right by me, I might not have the criminal record that I have."
Gary Sendall, Founder WADDSUPP, adult ADHD support group in the Wirrall

"Many books seek to promote awareness of ADHD among the public but very few do so with as splendid a combination of science and compassion as does Mr. Anderton in this up-to-the-minute summation of what parents and others should know about ADHD and its management."
Professor Russell Barkley, SUNY Upstate Medical School

"This book is very welcome – it takes the lessons from the scientific study of ADHD and applies them to a social and justice perspective. It deserves to be read widely, especially by those who doubt whether the individual's vulnerability of ADHD is relevant to how society should react."
Professor Eric Taylor, King's College London, Institute of Psychiatry, London

"Phil Anderton, an experienced police officer, has seen that many who get in trouble with the law have ADHD. In this book he clearly describes what ADHD is and makes very practical suggestions for how those with ADHD can be powerfully helped by appropriate treatment. His approach is sensible, compassionate, and desperately needed."
Professor Thomas E. Brown, Ph.D. Dept of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine

The new AFRUCA Psychotherapy service provides online, short-term, one to one, confidential and culturally appropriate therapy service for children (10-18 years) who have been involved in the local authority child protection system because of child/domestic abuse and who are being reunified with their birth parents after a period in foster care. The aim is to support children to help them readjust following time away in foster care, build emotional well-being, rebuild trust, emotional bond and attachment with their birth parents. The aim is to strengthen the process of reunification with less likelihood of child protection issues recurring and less likelihood of children returning into care.

We are holding a launch event on 26 October 2023 to promote our new service and its outcomes and share further information, including our clinical approaches and referral pathways

What is Resolve?
Resolve is an emotional health and wellbeing service that works with children between the ages of five and eighteen who have witnessed or been subjected to domestic abuse.
What does Resolve do?
Resolve provides eight sessions of one to one therapeutic support for children who are impacted by domestic abuse, helping them to develop an "Invisible Toolkit" which increases their resilience and empowers them, even after the work has ended.

We employ highly trained practitioners with extensive experience in delivering therapeutic work to child victims of domestic abuse. Practitioners may include counsellors, therapeutic social workers and art or play therapists.

The practitioners work with the child without any preconceptions, in a spirit of unconditional positive regard using counselling skills such as paraphrasing, reflecting, listening, mirroring and challenging. This allows the child a safe and confidential space within which they can discuss their thoughts and feelings.
How does Resolve work?
Each child receives a bespoke package of support based on his or her needs. Activities are based on the child's root and presenting issues.
How does Resolve benefit children?
Our most recent analysis of outcomes shows that 87% of children who accessed the Resolve service across the region showed an improvement in their emotional health and wellbeing after receiving the service. In addition, according to our Annual User Satisfaction Survey, 100% of young people accessing Resolve were either "Happy" (20%) or "Very Happy" with the service.
What does Resolve cost?
Resolve in Manchester is currently funded by Manchester City Council and is free, for children who live in Manchester, to access.
Who can access Resolve?
The child must be aged between 5 and 18 years, have experienced Domestic Abuse in the home and live in Manchester. If the child has had counselling in the last 6 months they cannot access Resolve as this can be unhelpful. It is also worth thinking carefully about whether the child will benefit from therapy. Ideally children need to be able to sit with an adult for up to 50 minutes and feel comfortable in this situation for Resolve to work with them.
Who runs Resolve?
The Children's Society runs Resolve and has over 15 years' experience in providing specialist therapeutic services for children who have experienced domestic abuse. Find out more about us at The Childrens Society

If you would like to talk further about Resolve, please email Resolve@childrenssociety.org.uk

Getting advice

This means receiving info and guidance on what activities or services are available in your community - to help you manage your emotional wellbeing. This might be a particular sport that you have an interest in, a hobby or services that can help you with any general emotional issues you may be dealing with. We may also do some 1-1 work with you to show you how you can better manage your emotional health.

Close

Getting help

This means that you might need to be supported into more targeted interventions to help support any issues that you may be dealing with. These interventions will be short but effective in improving your emotional wellbeing.

Close

Getting risk support

This means that sometimes we will have to contact crisis services to keep you safe before you can get the right help.

Close

Getting more help

This means that we need to talk to other more specialised services - we can then discuss with them and yourself which type of help is the best for you, that cannot be given at our hubs.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

How we Help Manchester Residents Cope with the Cost of Living Crisis

In these tough times and living through the Cost of Living Crisis, it is our job to help out where we can. Due to the rise in the cost of living, there has been a significant rise in people accessing our services. As well as providing food, the pantry acts as an essential gateway for customers to access different types of critical support, such as debt management, mental health awareness, housing issues, and health and well-being support.

We run many food hubs across Manchester, specifically in Gorton, Longsight, and Levenshlume, where we provide food essentials at a very low cost. We collaborated with Manchester City Council, Healthy Me Healthy Communities (HMHC) at Gorton Central, Our Manchester, Food Partnership, Fareshare, Emerge, Rafiki Food Network, and MACC. Come find us in Gorton every Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m!

Across Ummah aims to implement impactful programmes to address crises in family settings that contribute to dysfunctional families in the community. We are guided by the belief that a good family structure is the bedrock of any viable society.

Families are the strengths of communities we promote love, peace, and harmony in neighborhoods.

Great Minds Together support children and young people with special educational needs and social, emotional and mental health needs as well as their families and the professional networks around them. The age range of the young people we can support is 0 - 25 years old. There is no age range for support to their families.

Our organisation is made up of a multidisciplinary team. We allocate either a mentor (or more than one) to a family as well as a Family wraparound co-ordinator that can signpost to other agencies and carry out Early Help Assessments. This includes support with and for services, attending appointments and/or meetings with or on behalf of the family, support in the home, liaising with housing, schools and supplying items where needed. The Great Minds model by its own definition is a multiagency, working together model. It holistically assesses, evaluates and then implements a bespoke, hands on model of support for families, schools and services in order to ensure better outcomes for children and young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs whilst also identifying other creative, successful and positive models and sharing this good practice with others.

As an organisation we pride ourselves on building relationships and sharing good practice, as well as providing opportunities for the parents and carers that we work with. Communication is the most important part of what we do, and the unique and trusted relationships we have with families means we are able to identify worries that can often go undetected by other services. By working together with others, we can ensure there is wide awareness of what is available in the local community to support families in an effective way. The programme adds value to the significant number schools, other community groups and organisations we work with, as well as the young people, support also extends to the family meaning there is a true whole SEND approach for everyone involved.

We have a large focus on social, emotional wellbeing and life skills. Interventions focused on self-confidence to promote aspirations and vocational opportunities for all members of the family. We provide a Tradership programme which offers CPD certifications, work-based learning and Growth Mindset to increase opportunities and employability for young people pre- and post-16.

In addition, the programme benefits other members of the local community, as we help to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the area by early intervention and support for young people at risk of exploitation. Also, it will provide an increase in awareness for professionals on understanding the need behind the behaviours and what should be implemented to support young people that may have experienced trauma or have an unidentified or unmet need. This in turn will help professionals continue their professional development and build positive relationships with the young people and their families, as the family wraparound co-ordinator implements a strength based, solution focussed approach to harness the strengths of each individual. We would like to employ our own educational psychologist to support with this and upskill education and support staff.

Our Non-Executive board of Directors is made up of 16 very knowledgeable members, 100% of which have lived experience of the challenges our organisation is addressing both in personal and professionals capacities, and as such are able to support our organisation with an informed perspective.

Support

The award winning Holding Families programme provides whole family support for children and family members affected by parental substance use. We work with parents and carers at any stage of their recovery from drugs and alcohol use.

We work with each family member separately and also as a family unit. We will work with families where there is at least one young person under the age of 18 living in the family home or where the substance using parent is pregnant. At least one of the parents should have problematic drug or alcohol use. Families can be referred by themselves or by any professional working with them.

The aim of the programme is to give the whole family the opportunity to talk about any problems caused by drugs and alcohol and to allow the children's voices to be heard by the family. Ultimately, the programme aims to empower families to make positive decisions on the changes they would like to make to help improve family life.

The Stay Alive app is a pocket suicide prevention resource for the UK, packed full of useful information to help you stay safe. You can use it if you are having thoughts of suicide or if you are concerned about someone else who may be considering suicide.

In addition to the resources, the app includes a safety plan, customisable reasons for living, and a life box where you can store photos that are important to you.

"I have used this app with volunteers and service users across the UK and the feedback is consistently positive. People have used it when in crisis and say it is literally life-saving."
Suffolk User Forum Survey 2017

Are you thinking of suicide, or worried about someone else and don't want to use the app? Check our "Find Help Now" pages for:

Helplines

Websites

Other services

These can help when you are having thoughts of suicide or are in a suicidal crisis. They can also help if you are concerned about someone.

We believe there's no shame in reaching out for help if you are feeling stressed, depressed or experiencing suicidal crisis in some form. If you're not sure of who to reach out to in your community and don't want to download the app, some of the contacts on our "Find Help Now" pages could help. People who care are ready to help you right now.

The app is fully compliant with GDPR and international data management standards.

"This weekend I found the online support list and the keeping safe for now section helpful and made me feel less lonely. Unlike so many mental health apps yours is not patronising and doesn't claim to 'fix' anyone. No app will ever be able to fix me but yours kept me company during a very long, dark weekend. Thank you for that."
Anonymous, via Facebook

"[The app helped me help someone else to stay alive] by introducing and making clear the option of 'stay safe for now'. This was so helpful for the young person I was working with who felt as if she had no choice other than to try and kill herself given how hopeless she felt."
Anonymous, via online survey

"Aside from Breathing exercises, grounding techniques and lots of useful tips and contacts, it has a section called 'My Life-box'. Here I can add pictures that remind me of my reasons to stay alive. I uploaded a funny photo of Si, one of my Mum and Dad celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and one of Saagar and I, happy together. This is the next best thing to a friend sitting with me, holding my hand when I am down and out."
SANGEETA MAHAJAN, on her blog.

A life saving story...

"I have had the Stay Alive app on my phone for many months, I keep my safety plan updated on it and have read a lot of the content. This has been incredibly helpful for me, but it is in the event of crisis that I have found the app most useful.

A few months ago I found myself in a position where my thoughts of suicide were so strong and prominent, that I needed immediate help to avoid another suicide attempt. In previous moments like this I have not known where to turn for help and have instead begun turning suicide plans into actions.

Fortunately, when I was trying to think if there were options other than suicide open to me, I remembered that I have the app and that it might help. I was able to immediately dial through to a helpline using the crisis resources on the "find help now" section of the app and they were able to support me and keep me safe in the short term, until further help could be reached. They were also able to help friends look after me.

I think perhaps without the app and its ability to help me to find help, strong suicidal thoughts would have become another suicide attempt. I believe that it is a unique resource which I carry with me everywhere I go, which gives it an unbelievable scope to help."
Brighton resident

StayAlive in professional healthcare settings

The app is included on mental health patients' discharge paperwork at Brighton & Hove and Haywards Heath Accident & Emergency Departments

The app is pre-installed on a number of counselling service waiting room tablets

Sussex Police promote the app to staff on their intranet and also to community members on their public-facing website

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust promote the app to their staff and service users

A wide range of mental health practitioners (both clinical and non-clinical) and therapists are using the app in and/or between sessions with their patients and clients

A recent independent evaluation report (PDF) from the Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network showed the app helped 76% of at-risk users to stay safe from suicide. The upgrade and evaluation were funded by the Crisis Care Concordat - Beyond Places of Safety scheme from the Department of Health & Social Care.

The Australian Mental Wellbeing Index provides a snapshot insight into the everyday mental wellbeing of Australia. It explores the factors that contribute to mental wellbeing and aims to generate a national conversation about how Australians can take a proactive approach to support mental wellbeing.

We've recently released the second annual report exploring the data collected across 2022-2023. The latest report shows young Australians aged 18-24, are experiencing poorer mental wellbeing than older age groups and poorer levels of focus and concentration may be a key driver of this.

Thinking of suicide?

Are you, or is a young person you know, not coping with life? For confidential suicide prevention advice contact HOPELINE247.

My whole way of thinking has changed. I feel positive about my future and the people around me. I'm now looking forward to the future and helping others just like me!

Thank you so much for the incredible support PAPYRUS and HOPELINE247 has given me. You helped me in that moment and it kept me alive.

I intend to continue to fundraise for and promote PAPYRUS. I am so proud and humbled to be involved with a wonderful charity, and to have received the support that I have.

Having been personally bereaved by suicide I understand the importance and need for our charity. I am surrounded by others who are as passionate as I am about saving lives.
