The-Exchange is now providing counselling and emotional and psychological support in all secondary schools in East Ayrshire.   The service provides a private space where children and young people can talk about things which are troubling them. Talking things over with a professional can help children to find better ways to cope with difficulties. Young people will generally be referred to the counselling service either by their guidance teacher or have the option to refer themselves.   Guidance staff will always talk to the young person about this before making a referral and will encourage them to involve their parents too. Involvement of parents/carers is always encouraged as part of the process.   More information for parents/carers is available in this leaflet East Ayrshire – The Exchange Secondary PARENTS

If you are a young person and are looking for more information about The-Exchange, please have a look at the leaflet for Young People – East Ayrshire – The Exchange Secondary YOUNG PEOPLE  or visit their website.
