Children & Young People’s Wellbeing Service

Our Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Service supports young people who either do not meet criteria for Child Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), or are on a CAMHS waiting list, to learn coping skill to self-manage mental health and wellbeing:

Referrals:

• We are funded through the Local Children’s Partnership to deliver support through the Early Help Hub (a central forum that co-ordinates support for families). We work with young people for a total period of 6 months including one to one support, workshops, courses and peer support.
• We also have some grant funding until December 2020 to work in Warblington School and Crookhorn College to deliver one to one support for young people.
