The YP Project

We are here to support you. We understand what you may be experiencing and we can help.

Are you hurting your parent, carer or partner?

Are you struggling with your anger, frustration and emotions and taking it out on those you love?

We know that relationships at home can be really difficult, but we’re here to help and support you. We can listen to your problems, talk through any tricky relationships you have at home, and can give you some handy tips to help with improving your situation.

At the YP Project, we provide an impartial, non-judgmental environment for you to talk about how you feel. We can talk you through harmful behaviours, healthy relationships, managing emotions, resolving conflict and more.

We know that life can be hard as a young person, but you’re not alone. Many others in the same situation as you have come to us for help.

We’re here to help you, and it’s never too late to ask for support. Call us on 0116 254 0101 for a chat with one of our friendly team.

What young people say about The YP Project...

“I have seen some positive changes in myself such as, talking calmly towards my family and feeling much more positive.”

“I’ve become a lot better at handling stressful situations which helps me stay a lot calmer and composed.”

“I feel that I’ve become a lot more patient in day-to-day life and can see things from different perspectives."

Further Programme Details

We work with young people from 10 -18 years throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We are normally involved with a young person for between 3 to 6 months, though this can be a shorter or longer period depending on individual need.

The interventions we deliver are designed to best support you as an individual, for this reason we have the ability of delivering specific programmes such as the Respect Young People’s Programme (aimed at both the parent and the young person) or bespoke interventions designed specifically around individual requirements.

Our team of trauma-informed practitioners ensure that appropriate support is provided. We will complete an assessment with you as the young person, the parent(s) or carer(s) and where appropriate with siblings. This provides an opportunity for families to share their concerns, perspective, experiences and their hopes.

Useful Contacts:

We are not an emergency service. If you need urgent assistance, please contact the Police.
