Headspace is a project that was set up in 2015 as a result of recognising a growing need to support young people experiencing issues and difficulties with their mental health and/or mental well being. Using volunteers we aspire to work with young people between the ages of 11-22 as we believe there is limited support available for this age group, particularly those transitioning into adulthood.

Headspace is currently working in a number of secondary schools in and around the Sutton Coldfield area, offering one-to-one sessions with students. This space gives young people the opportunity to share and explore any thoughts or feelings, to get advice and guidance or to just be alone with their thoughts.

In addition to working in secondary schools, we also work independently with individual students and young people, meeting in a safe neutral environment.

Headspace works via a group of volunteer Support Workers who are trained in Level 2 Mental Health Awareness or Mental Health First Aid.
