Get Help

Spired.com's Guide is full of advice, information, local contacts, and links to more information; you can also ask questions.	Connexions aims to give every young person the best start in life by providing help through Personal Advisors. Find out about yours here.
The Youth Support Services can help you access counselling and mentoring services, and is staffed by workers trained to talk to you and work with you.	Mentoring is run by the Youth Support Service and provides young people with someone to talk to. Find out more.

All around you, there are people running Youth Centres, Offices, Projects and Schemes, all designed to help local young people when the going gets rough. The problem you need help with might be as simple as being bored or needing some homework help, or may be complicated, difficult and very distressing, but somewhere near you there will be someone who can help. Many of them are listed in The Guide.

You may feel like you don't help, or even that you don't want it. That's fine, too. Everyone needs to work through problems at their own speed. But knowing where you can go locally for help in an emergency -- or where you can go for help to stop the emergency happening in the first place -- will help you feel safer and more secure.
