Bromley Y

Celebrating 60 years in 2025

Free support for children, young people and their families

“As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, our vision remains the same; to see children growing up enjoying life in their communities.

Bromley Y promotes the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children, young people and their mums, dads and carers by enabling change, fostering resilience and helping them build healthy relationships. Our service aims to listen, respect, support and offer effective interventions to those in need, at the right time and in the right place.

We endeavour to work together with schools and other key providers to keep children’s needs at the heart of what we do.” https://bromley-y.org/

For Parents / Carers

Many young people need help and support from time to time.

This section of our website aims to provide parents and carers with practical tips and resources to help children and young people in their care.

FOR PARENTS /CARERS

At Bromley Y, we understand how difficult it is to have a young person in your care who is suffering with emotional difficulties which can affect the whole family, not just the young person in question. We would like to help you and your young person overcome these difficulties, so please feel able to make a referral to us.

Our service is provided free of charge, based in central Bromley and our practitioners are non-judgemental, caring and friendly.

If you are worried about a young person’s mental health or behaviour we can help you.

There are a number of options you could consider without the need to make a referral:

• You could suggest that the young person of secondary school age joins one of our webinars which cover topics such as anxiety, low mood, exam stress and healthy study habits.

• You could watch one of our parent/carer videos or join one of our webinars which include topics such as understanding anxiety, fears and worries and emotionally based school avoidance

• You can read some of the helpful advice in the section below.

If you still feel that a therapeutic group, mentoring or support from a qualified practitioner may be needed, you can make a referral to Bromley Y by clicking the ‘Refer Now’ tab at the top of the screen.
