MAP is an advice, counselling and youth work service for 11-25 year olds.
The ADVICE SERVICE provides advice in all areas and provides advice to case work level on benefits, housing and homelessness and young parenting matters.
We also provide a sexual health service, including pregnancy testing and STI testing. We run a monthly trans gender group for young people, an advice drop in for young dads (Thursdays) and a young mums and dads drop in on Wednesdays. Parenting skills courses run regularly.
COUNSELLING is by appointment, and people can be referred for help with their mental health and wellbeing via the Advice team.
