Perth & Kinross Council awarded a contract to Lifelink for the expansion and continuation of pilot counselling services in schools, specifically to include group work.

The service was designed to complement existing 1:1 counselling without reducing its delivery, offering a flexible, less intensive support option for schools across Perth & Kinross to opt into.

The provider's practitioners were expected to collaborate closely with school staff to design tailored themes aligned with school priorities and student needs, ensuring sessions were relevant and impactful with clear communication of expected outcomes.

The contract included a fundamental evaluation component to assess effectiveness in enhancing coping strategies and avoiding or complementing onward referral, with particular attention to impact on accessibility for males, young people from less affluent areas, and minority groups.

The contract value was £16,000.
