    Hey @Lostsense!

    Yep, so currently the project is aimed at 10-18 year olds. We're not entirely sure whether that's set in stone, whether it might change, etc. as it's still very early on in development. I'll do some digging and update this thread if/when I have a bit more info on how rigid that age bracket is, because I know you (and no doubt a few others) have been waiting eagerly for this. :)

    Just a cheeky placemark for any updates on this service. Noticed that referrals are closed due to lots of applicants too!

    Hey both!

    So just an update here. For now it will be just 10-18 year olds, but we may get the chance to open that up to more young people later down the line. We'll keep you updated where possible. :yes:

    Apologies that wasn't the answer you were after, @Lostsense! You're more than welcome to refer yourself to phone counselling though, if that's of interest?

    @independent_, webchat counselling referrals are now open. :)
