Open Door (Professionals)For young people aged 12 up to age 24

They recognise that adolescence and the transition to adulthood is a period of massive change and development - biological, social and psychological. For some it is a time of excitement, self-exploration and expectation. For others it can be difficult, disheartening or even overwhelming. Statistics show that rates of mental ill health double in the adolescent years. However, young people seeking help often find mainstream services inaccessible, stigmatising and not in-tune with their particular needs. Over the past 40 years, thousands of young people have turned to Open Door for confidential, professional therapeutic help at critical moments in their development.
