Are you sure you're okay?
At Response, we understand that mental health challenges can affect anyone at any age. That's why we offer specialised services for children and young people between 11-25 years old, and for families who need support.
We provide a range of evidence-based treatments and interventions, including cognitive-behavioural therapy informed approaches, solution-focused methods and more.
Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each young person and family we work with. We take a person-centred approach to care, focusing on the individual's strengths and working collaboratively with families to support them through their journey. We are particularly skilled at bringing a youth worker and social prescribing approach to our work.
Our team understands that seeking help for mental health challenges can be daunting, especially for children and young people. That's why we work to create a safe and welcoming environment where young people and their families can feel comfortable and supported.
We believe that early intervention and prevention are key to improving outcomes for young people and families struggling with mental health challenges. We work closely with schools, Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), GPs, and other professionals to ensure that young people and families receive the support they need when they need it.

Our Services
In the Community
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Outreach
We've opened up new choices, broader and near-to-home support for many young people through our provision of specialist outreach workers. We have identified the right partners and are managing the process. Response have specialist outreach workers based in multiple locations.
Specialist Youth Workers
The aim of this project is to support young people with the most acute mental health needs in hospitals through social prescribing methods. If young people are placed in a Tier 4 hospital unit, they are often at a stage with their mental health where specialist treatment is needed because they are at risk of becoming very unwell.
Supportive Steps
Supportive Steps is a project based within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Single Point of Access where all referrals for mental health support in the county come for triage and placing with the right team for the need.
Outreach Neurodevelopment Conditions
Response has two offers under the umbrella term of Outreach. Our Outreach Neurodevelopment Conditions (Outreach NDC) work is about supporting the most stuck young people in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), where other teams might be struggling to engage with the young person.
Young People's Supported Accommodation (YPSA)
The Young People's Supported Accomodation (YPSA) is commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council, in partnership with the district councils. The YPSA is a service that supports young people aged 16 to 24 that require accommodation and support to develop independent living skills. Response is commissioned to provide some of the accommodation and support, and some of this is delivered in partnership with Oxfordshire Youth.
The Thatcham Wellbeing Hub
The Wellbeing Hub is Response’s first project aimed at providing preventative and open access support to the community.
The Hub is a physical location, based in Thatcham in West Berkshire, where young people can access scheduled support or drop in for sessions to explore what is available. We support young people aged 11-25.
