Who do we support

The Youth Intervention Service (YIS) is a referral based team in the Youth Service, providing early intervention, help and support to vulnerable young people aged 11-18 and their families in Powys. The work is carried out by professionally trained and experienced youth workers.
Parents, carers and young people seeking support can self-refer via the Team Around the Family (TAF) process.

The YIS also run a project that gives us the opportunity to offer support and guidance to additional young people in Powys, to reduce the chances of them becoming ‘Not in Training or Education’ (NEET) when they leave school. This project has specific criteria, and young people are identified for participation through work with each high school.
