Cafe run by young people offers mental health counselling
The Yasp cafe offers a laid-back environment where young people can receive support or train as mentors
"Somebody walked past recently, sniffed the air, looked inside and said, 'What ARE you?'" laughs Martin Stanier. In his Bowie T-shirt and broad grin, you could say the same about him. Stanier is volunteer co-ordinator at the Young Adults Services and Projects (Yasp) cafe. Well, it's a cafe, but it's also a drop-in centre and resource for 15 to 25-year-olds. The staff don't like the term drop-in centre, though and that's why the Yasp cafe exists in the first place..............
