At the One-to-One Service young people can speak to a worker about what is on your mind and get weekly support for around 10 sessions and each session lasts about 50 minutes.
A worker will help set goals and make a plan. It could be finding healthy ways to cope with difficult emotions; building your confidence; or getting support around health and wellbeing topics such as alcohol use, sleep, sexuality, relationships, gender identity or smoking.
One-t0-one support is provided in our centre in Leith – as it’s an accessible, safe and confidential space. However, we can provide support via phone, video call or in a community venue (if it can be found) when coming to the building isn’t possible.

At the first session a worker will explain our confidentiality policy. You will set goals and plan how the sessions can meet your needs. As you reach the end of your sessions, you will work towards a planned ending.
There is a growing problem of fake ID use among young people in Britain and USA. Fake IDs are used by underage persons to buy alcohol, tobacco and in certain states of America, even legal marijuana. Fake IDs are easy to get online, due to democratization of technology, anonymous cryptocurrency payments and globalization of world economy. Youngsters often use alcohol as an escape from everyday problems. Likewise, they want to socialize in company of their older peers and visit bars, clubs and music venues with age control policy. That's where fake identification cards come to the rescue, despite known scams. However, many students do not realize that by using a fake identification document they add felony to misdemeanor and thus can irreversibly damage their future. If you developed a drinking problem or need a legal help after being caught with false ID, The Junction Youth center can provide guidance and advice (more questions answered here).
