Mental Health & Wellbeing
Mental health affects everyone. You need to look after it like you’d look after your physical health. At No Limits, we can help you in a number of ways, whether you want to drop in and speak to a youth worker when you need, book counselling, join one of our groups detailed below, see us out-of-hours, or help yourself. No problem is too small or big for you to talk to us about it.
Our youth workers and counsellors are trained, friendly and willl never judge you or your problems. They are there to listen, give advice and support you with anything you’re facing.

Support in Emergency Departments and Social Prescribing
Our youth workers are embedded in five emergency departments across the county:
– University Hospital, Southampton
– Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth
– Royal Hampshire County Hospital, Winchester
– Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital
– St Mary’s Hospital, Newport, Isle of Wight
Youth workers support all young people aged 11-25 who present at the emergency department due to mental health problems or violence, as well as working with young people admitted onto wards. They provide crisis support and can offer ongoing social prescribing.
We also work in partnership with the NHS 111 Mental Health team to support 11–25 year olds across Hampshire who are accessing 111 for advice and support with their mental health and wellbeing by offering social prescribing.
Social prescribing aims to connect children and young people to community groups, education and employment opportunities, and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Our social prescribers offer one-to-one support, linking young people to, and supporting them to engage with both internal No Limits services and external local services, which help to improve the young person’s mental health and wellbeing.
