About this service
Children and Young People’s Psychological Services (CYPPS) is a secondary-level specialist service, working with children and young people up to the age of 16 years.
We offer specialist psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention with children, young people and, where appropriate, parents or carers. CYPPS works with children and young people with moderate to severe difficulties for example, mood, anxiety and behaviour.
Typically the children and young people we work with have already accessed some kind of support. For example, counselling. Where first-line intervention has not yet been tried and is likely to be helpful (or sometimes essential for psychological therapy to be beneficial), then this should be undertaken prior to a request for involvement with CYPPS.
For example, an Early Help assessment might be required, Aiming Higher or Cygnet group in relation to Autism, ADHD North West, Mental Health Support Teams within school, Children and Young People’s Well-being Practitioners. Within schools, Primary Mental Health Workers and Educational Psychology assessments or consultation can also be accessed.
