Merseyside Youth Association

How can we support young people?

We're here when you need us

In the community 

Navigators can meet with you in the community. We will always meet you where you feel most comfortable and decide on a location together, for example, at Merseyside Youth Association’s office on Hanover Street, in a cafe, a library etc.

Advocating for you

If you need us to accompany you when meeting someone from another organisation, or perhaps you just need some moral support. We’ll be there for you.

We can also help you with a range of aspects of your life

We can make referrals to specialist services that will help you with your individual needs, including:

  • Housing 

    Whilst we know that trying to secure housing can be a long process, our Navigator’s are experienced to be able to refer you to partner organisations. These organisations can support with steps to securing accommodation and promoting independent living skills. 

  • Education, Training and Employment

    If you are no longer engaging or struggling with education, training or employment as a result of the impact of violence on your life, then our Navigator’s will strive to signpost you to relevant organisations to support with this. 

  •  Mental health 

    Our friendly and helpful team of trained Navigator’s can assist you to locate services that can support with emotional regulation and resilience, as well as promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.
