How Can I support The Young People I see?

There are many ways you can support a young person who wishes to access our services or who are already receiving support from us.

Counselling & Group Work Services:

As a professional supporting a young person, you may want to know updates on their progress or referral status with us. Off The Record is a confidential source of support for young people. This means we do not provide information to outside agencies or professionals. The self-referral portal is to be used by young people directly and is not to be used by professionals on behalf of young people, although we welcome you to assist and support them if they need it as they self-refer.

If you are supporting a young person who is accessing our services and they wish to know more information, please ask them to contact us, we will not share any information with anyone else.

If you are interested in OTR hosting events or assemblies in schools, please contact us at enquiries@otr-south.org.uk
