Health and wellbeing

Emotional health and wellbeing is really important. We want to support you in any areas where you may feel you are struggling. 

Your aftercare worker will help you access available support for all aspects of your health needs, including your mental and physical health. We recognise that this can be very individual, but here are a few ways we can help:

• Give you free access to Trafford Leisure facilities
• Support you and provide information on healthy living and how to pay for prescriptions
• Help you register with a GP, dentist, and optician and give you a health passport with important information from your childhood (such as vaccinations) and your current needs at 18
• If you are a young parent, we will help you do the best for your children, such as arranging childcare, if this is what you want
• Whilst you are cared for (16 to 18), you will continue to be offered an annual health assessment by one of our looked-after children (LAC) nurses
• You will have access to specialist substance misuse services in Trafford, called Early Break, who can work with you
• Your personal advisor will help you access available support for all aspects of your health needs, including your mental as well as physical health

Trafford Youth Engagement Service

You will also have access to Trafford Youth Engagement Service, a specialist advice and information service for 13 to 25-year-olds, based at Sale Waterside. Their youth workers can support with a range of issues.
