Our Free Young People's Counselling Service

Our new and free Young People's Counselling Service launches on 01 April 2024!

Young people aged 13-18, with either suspected or diagnosed M.E., are able to access up to 12 sessions with our counsellors, who understand the impact M.E. can have on a young person and are here to listen and ensure they get the support they need.

Donate now and change lives

Action for M.E. is the only charity in the UK providing support, including holistic healthcare services, to people with M.E. of all ages and our services have often been referred to as a 'lifeline' by those who have accessed them. We are working to ensure that adults, children, young people and families living with M.E. are able to access the support they need.

Donate now to help us put an end to the ignorance, injustice and neglect people with M.E. experience all too often, campaign for change and invest in biomedical research.
