What I do: Provide a safe, non-judgmental space for young people to explore thoughts and feelings using art materials


Why I like being part of MYPAS: I like the relaxed and open atmosphere which MYPAS creates and which makes all the services easy to access for young people.

Counsellor

People come to see me because they are confused, angry or sad; sometimes they also just want to get to know themselves better. I am there to listen carefully to what they have to say; I support them in trying to understand their thoughts and feelings better and how these can affect their lives.

MYPAS is a place where I am comfortable, because I work with people who are honest and respectful, enjoy a good laugh and are genuinely interested in young people.
