“The lowdown believe that no young person should ever experience mental health issues alone.”
the lowdown offers a caring environment where young people are always supported on their journey towards positive emotional health and wellbeing.
We are members of the REACH partnership providing professional and confidential services for young people across Northamptonshire.
Our fully trained team provides accessible, safe, welcoming, confidential and non-judgemental services. There are various ways to get in touch and then we will work out together how we can best support you.
We are here for you, you are not alone.
