There are a number of specialist services and teams across the Birmingham locale. Follow the links below to find more information on what the service does, how to make contact with the service or how to access their support.
Developed by Common Unity and Forward For Life, TWR provides you with links to 100’s of Birmingham and Solihull-based services that can help you take more control of your own health and wellbeing. It also provides links to key national organisations that can help you be more informed of the options available.
Kooth is here to offer emotional well-being and mental health support to young people aged 11 – 25. The Kooth website provides a range of useful support tools and activities, such as our age-appropriate magazine articles and discussion forums, as well as free online support and counselling with one of our qualified practitioners.
Heal Hub is a community-led programme that gives young people the opportunity to shape their own mental health support. If you’re 14-25 in the West Midlands, this programme was built around YOU.
We offer free online and in-person therapy for those who want to manage their minds.
The aim of this initiative was to work in partnership to provide Screening, Training, Intervention, Consultation, and Knowledge (STICK) to young people, parents, and professionals to provide timely support in creative and innovative ways not traditionally seen within mental health services.
Pause, delivered in partnership with The Childrens Society, is a well-being drop-in service for anyone under the age of 25 with a Birmingham GP.
Come and talk to us whenever you’re ready. We will listen and empower you to take control of whatever is worrying you.
The Early Intervention in Psychosis team works with young people and young adults up to the age of 35, who are experiencing their first episode of psychosis.
Getting help quickly is really important if you’re experiencing psychosis, so we’ll usually offer you your first appointment with us within two weeks. We’ll work with you to help you recover from psychosis and reduce the chances of you experiencing more episodes. We usually try to see you in an environment where you feel comfortable. This could be at home or at one of our community hubs.
Mental health issues can affect anyone at any point in their lives, but we know that they are more common in people on the autism spectrum (Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD).
If you or someone you love has ASD, they may struggle with things like anxiety, depression, or self-harm and need some additional support.
Within FTB we work with individuals who will present with complex emotional, social, and interpersonal difficulties that often fall under the umbrella of a diagnosis of ‘Personality Disorder.’
Our pathway works with individuals who will present with such difficulties and because of the developmental changes that individuals face, we gear away from diagnosis towards a more trauma-informed way of thinking.
Mental health problems (e.g. anxiety and depression) are much more common in people with learning disabilities.
Sometimes these issues can be overlooked because of the learning disability but it’s important that all children and young people have access to the right support for their needs.
Getting help early when suffering from an eating disorder is really important.
Many of us will be conscious of healthy eating and diet at times but if you have concerns about food and weight that are starting to have an impact on your everyday life, you may need some extra support.
We provide a city-wide service for young people and adults who need treatment and support for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. Our specialist team of dedicated mental health professionals can help you explore your relationship with food and work with you to understand the best way to tackle your problems.
BEP’s Mental Health & Wellbeing team was initially launched in December 2018 providing BEP with the opportunity to deliver on the aspects of the original BEP vision relating to school life and inclusion.
This includes support to groups of young people that are struggling to thrive, provision around SEND students, support for staff mental wellbeing, reducing exclusions, and strategic planning for positive inclusion in schools.
