Visyon is a charity that supports the mental health of children, young people and their families.

Children and young people live in an increasingly complex and hyper connected world, which can be hard to process and understand. They are taking the first brave step to ask Visyon for support when they recognise that issues like anxiety, low mood, anger, self-harm or thoughts of suicide are impacting on their day to day lives, relationships, behaviour and ability to achieve their potential. These issues can stem from factors including bereavement, illness, bullying, family challenges and the impacts of poverty. Visyon provides free, friendly and inclusive safe spaces across Cheshire East, ensuring vulnerable children aged 11-19 are heard and have access to the information and support they need to talk openly about their mental health experiences.
Our team of around 20 qualified counsellors and trained wellbeing practitioners deliver early intervention support to prevent mental health issues escalating and having a negative impact on the lives of over 1,000 young people each year in our community. We believe that children and young people are the experts in their own experiences and their input is crucial in identifying the right approach for them, be that individual counselling or developing practical strategies through mentoring, group activities and wellbeing workshops.
