What to expect from our young person's services

You’ll find a warm, welcoming space where you can access non-judgmental support and advice from the YZUP Cornwall young person's team.

You don’t have to pay for any of our services, and we won’t tell anyone about anything you tell us without your permission. The only time this might change is if we have serious concerns about your own or someone else’s safety.
