YorChoice drop ins

YorChoice drop in sessions support 14- to 21-year-olds (up to 25 SEND) and currently run on Thursdays at York Mind in Highcliffe House

The drop-in is not a crisis service or a youth club, but offers a safe space where a young person can go for advice and support, where they feel listened to and helped to find the right support for them in York.

If you are thinking “My issues aren’t serious enough” remember that we are here at the drop in to support you with however you are feeling and our aim is to be proactive and prevent things from getting worse.

As we are a drop in service, we have no waiting lists or contracts and you have no ongoing commitment to visit every week. Just come along whenever it suits you!
