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- Have become significantly withdrawn in the last 6 months.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.
