Westside Youth Support Service

One Good Idea can change your life forever!

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." – Eleanor Roosevelt

It's true – one good idea can make a huge difference in your life.

That good idea could already be hidden in the corner of your brain and as it's discovered, put into action.

We’re offering to help you do that.

People don't always want advice. They just want someone to listen and respect what they're saying.

One thing's for sure, we will listen to you.

That's a promise.

What's bothering you?

• Conflict with parents?
• Feeling you’re always on the outside of the group and never included?
• Always clashing with a teacher?
• Not sure what to do when you leave school?
• Being bullied?
• Feeling really depressed, or down, or low, or blue?
• Call it what you like, we know it sux!
• Done harming yourself ‘cause it doesn’t solve anything?
• Thinking everyone else has their act together while you lack confidence?
• In strife with the cops?
• Ideas flying around in your head that bother you?
• Confused about drugs, booze and smokes?
• Fed up with the whole food thing and your looks?

Just when you think you are on your own, you’re not.

Westside Youth Support Service is a free service provided for young people over 12 who may be going through a few hassles and want someone to listen to them and offer some ideas about how to solve stuff.

Whatever you talk about is strictly confidential, between you and Anne, the counselor. What you say won’t be repeated to anyone – teachers, police, not even your parents. Honest.
