Bridging The Gap

Area: Brighton

What does the service do?

Bridging the Gap is a clinical mental health service for 14-25 year-olds. The service aims to make earlier interventions for young people with mental health problems, particularly those who will move towards adulthood under the treatment of a mental health service. The service operates through five mental health workers called TAPAs (Teen to Adult Personal Advisors), two of which specialise in working with young people from BME (black or minority ethnic) and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) groups. The TAPAs are based in various Youth Hubs across Brighton, though their work also involves outreach into other areas of the community.
