Keeping Connected is a short-term, community-based support, focusing on mental health and wellbeing for S1 to S6 aged young people across Fife.

We provide early intervention and prevention support to young people:

  • Who are enrolled in a Fife Secondary School.
  • Have become significantly withdrawn in the last 6 months.
  • Are prevented from engaging in their usual daily routines due to their mental health.
  • Whose attendance at school has been significantly impacted.

The Support We Can Provide

Through 1-1 support, we will:

  • Improve participation, engagement and attendance in universal supports.
  • Provide advice to parents, carers or family members on how to support their young person to work towards their desired goals.
  • Improve resilience and personal capacity to use self-help strategies to manage their emotional regulation.
  • Increase engagement in alternative accredited qualifications for young people.

 If you feel it would help to spend time 1:1 with a support worker, get in touch with us at:

Once we receive your email,  we can work out the best way to keep in touch, such as video calls and WhatsApp, alongside our face-to-face visits. It is important that we hear your voice and work together, which may be on one or two visits a week or a fortnight. We will meet with you where you are comfortable and when you need to see us between 8am and 10pm any day of the week.
