How we can help

Our services

Counselling and Wellbeing

YES Counselling provides a space to speak with a trained professional about your concerns and issues, empowering you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. YES Counselling is confidential and non-judgmental.

Pregnancy and Parenting

Our Pregnancy and Parenting Programme works alongside the Daisy Team, covering the Colchester and Tendring area. We support young parents with pregnancy health and wellbeing, as well as housing and benefits advice.

Housing and Homelessness

YES is here for all young people aged 11-25 that may be facing the threat of homelessness in the Colchester area. We provide crucial advice and housing support, as well as food vouchers and signposting information.
