Welcome to the Amber Project Website
The Amber Project exists to support any young person (aged 14-25) in Cardiff and the surrounding areas who has experience of self-harm.
Please feel free to look around, and if you have any questions or think that we might be able to help, please do contact us. We are available Monday - Friday 9:30-5:30 . Unfortunately the current Coronavirus outbreak has had a huge impact on our services. However we are now able to take new referrals and we are offering a range of support..

Referrals
We have now been in touch with everyone who was referred to the project prior to lock-down. This coming week we will be continuing to contact referrals that were received since March. A few referrals were encrypted and no longer allow us to open them. If you have sent a referral which was password protected and the young person still wishes to access the project please re-send the document,
We are now taking new referrals. If you have been referred / or made a referral to the project and haven't heard from us please do contact us.
