The Intercultural Youth Scotland Mental Health Service offers free counselling for young Black People and People of Colour aged 12-25 based in Scotland. ‍Counselling or therapy aims to create a safe space for you to discuss anything that may be causing you distress, concern or uneasiness and is not limited to any specific subject, life event or experience. Our service is delivered by specialised counsellors who all have an understanding of racial trauma and centre race and racism in their practice.

You can access our counselling service online, with up to 12 confidential and free counselling sessions available, depending on your needs. IYS counsellors and practitioners are committed to speaking openly about issues of race, racism and how those affect young people's lived experience and mental health. We offer sessions in a multitude of languages including Arabic, Yoruba, English and more.
