Y2Kplus+ is a one to one support service offered by Mayfield & Easthouses Youth 2000 Project (Y2K) for young people aged 12-18 year old.

At Y2Kplus+ we can provide:

• Access to a well equipped information point providing advice and materials;
• Access to an up-to-date database of agencies offering support and advice;

Y2Kplus+ can work with young people to look at issues affecting their lives.  These issues can include but not limited to issues such as:

• school difficulties

Who can use Y2Kplus+ ?

Y2Kplus+ can provide support to any young person within Midlothian, however priority will be given to young people living in Mayfield & Easthouses.

The young person must be between the ages of 12 and 18.

Enquiries and referrals can be made on behalf of a young person however Y2Kplus+ is completely voluntary, we will only offer support if the young person wants it.

How can I get support from Y2Kplus+ ?

Young people can refer themselves for support from Y2Kplus+ by speaking to the Y2Kplus+ Team Leader via phone, email or text.

Other agencies or professionals can who have identified a young person they feel would benefit from the Y2Kplus+ service can get in touch with the Y2Kplus+ Team Leader who will discuss the enquiry.

A meeting will be arranged between the young person and a Y2Kplus+ worker and at this meeting both parties will decide what sort of support is required and how it will continue.
