Youth Information Services (YIS)
WHAT IS YIS?
The Youth Information Service (YIS) is a registered charity supported by MK Council and offers free and confidential counselling to young people aged 13–25. YIS is proud to be working in partnership with MK Mind to provide this service.
HOW CAN COUNSELLING HELP YOU?
If you want to talk to someone, our trained counsellors will listen, offer support and help you work out your feelings so that YOU can decide what you want to do. No problem is too small or too large for you to share it with us.
HOW TO GET IN TOUCH
Please phone (01908) 604700 or email yis@mkmind.org.uk to book an appointment. Counselling takes place at a central Milton Keynes location or in Netherfield.
HOW WE WORK
The young people who contact YIS come from a wide range of backgrounds and family situations. They are young people from your neighbourhood, your street and maybe from your family. They hear about YIS from friends, neighbours, youth workers, schools, health centres and social workers.
We offer young people counselling by appointment. We might refer to other specialist agencies as required. If a young person is unsure of the type of help s/he needs, we will spend time with them to help them to identify what they need.
As well as our work with individuals, we produce and distribute information relevant to the welfare of all young people.
