Emotional Wellbeing Service

Emotional Wellbeing Service

Here at the Emotional Wellbeing Service (EWS), we provide early-intervention for emotional wellbeing in children and young people across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

Change Grow Live won the contract for the Emotional wellbeing Service in 2016. We are funded jointly by University Health Board (UHB) and Area planning Board (APB).

How do we do this?

By utilising therapeutic groups and one-to-one support, the EWS promotes positive wellbeing and tools that strengthen emotional resilience and regulation, including support for young people engaging in risk-taking behaviours. So if you are feeling sad, lonely, depressed or feel you lack confidence and self-esteem, we can help you by offering support with;

  • Mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Drugs and alcohol
  • Self-harm
  • Safer sex & healthy relationships

The Emotional Wellbeing Service is the first point of contact for a young person wanting to develop coping strategies and learn new ways to be able to feel better and make positive changes.

Young Minds

Young Minds are leading the movement to make sure every young person gets the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.

It takes courage to ask for help. But for many young people who do, the support they need just isn’t there.

In the UK today, an estimated five children in every classroom has a mental health problem. 

Young Minds provide young people with tools to look after their mental health and empower adults to be the best support they can be to the young people in their lives.
