SPARK is a mental health support provider that provides low-level, personalised mental health support services to children, young people and families such as coaching, mentoring and psychological interventions.

We are an alternative to mental health services where you or your child do not meet the threshold for being accepted, or where you or your child is on a waiting list for a CAMHS intervention, we can provide wellbeing while waiting. We offer short waits so you can get help quickly. Click here
