The programme will support them to identify and achieve their goals - whether that’s gaining more confidence, getting into work, back into education or finding training and apprenticeships.

Support includes advice around mental health, finances, health and wellbeing and employment.

Exam results

It's an anxious time for many parents and teenagers, with exam results being published.

While some young people may be pleased that exams are finished, others may be disappointed that they did not get the scores they had hoped for, and many may be unsure of what lies ahead.

Support is on hand to help.

Falls prevention

There are services available in Derbyshire to help protect you from falling, or reduce the chance of falling.

Falls can lead to pain, distress, injury, loss of confidence and even death. But many falls can be prevented.
