Who we are

Bucks Early Engagement and Prevention (BEEP) is an NHS mental health service for young people aged 14 to 35 who live in Buckinghamshire.

We support people who may be finding things difficult because of experiences such as having unusual thoughts, feeling suspicious or worried about other people, or hearing voices.

For some people, these experiences can be upsetting and may start to affect school, college, work, or spending time with friends and family.

This early stage is called an ‘At-Risk Mental State’ (ARMS). This means that, without the right support and help, these difficulties could develop into a more serious mental health problem.

Our aims

Our aim is to help people before they need more intensive support in the future.

We support people with different parts of their lives, including their mental wellbeing, relationships, education, employment, and overall quality of life.

We hope to help people get their lives back on track and move forward in ways that are most important and meaningful to them.
