Health Youth Justice ServiceThe Health Youth Justice Service supports young people's wellbeing, physical health and speech, language and communication needs. We work with the Northamptonshire Youth Offending Service, the Police and other NHFT services.
We aim to support you as you access the youth offending service to reduce the risk of re-offending.
We offer health assessments, health action plans, 1:1s, consultations and interventions which you can find out more about on this page.
We will talk to you about your health, wellbeing or speech, language and communication needs. We will agree with you any support that may be helpful and talk about how we will support you with this. We will also discuss with you if we think another service can help with your needs.
Who is this service for? We work with 10-18 year olds who are open to the Northamptonshire Youth Offending Service. You will need to agree to access this service and this is your choice.
