Compass Changing Lives provides prevention and early intervention emotional wellbeing and mental health support to Children, Young People and Families (CYPFs) across Derby & Derbyshire.

Changing Lives comprises of two distinct services, Mental Health Support Teams and an Early intervention and Targeted Support Service, working collaboratively to provide a comparable offer across the County. The MHST provision works out of Centres of Excellence in Derby City, Glossop, Ilkeston, Erewash, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Swanwick and South Derbyshire, to support surrounding schools, and the Early Intervention Targeted Support Service provides support across the county and city to areas not covered by the MHST.

Children and young people can self refer themselves to our service, while parents, carers and professionals can refer on behalf of a child or young person.

The easiest way to make a referral is through an online form.

Alternatively, you make a referral through their app, by talking to their team on the phone at 01332 315569, or by filling in a Request for Support Form and sending it by email.
