Welcome to our service

Our teams are made up of a variety of NHS staff with specific training and qualifications to support the emotional health needs of children, young people and families in the community.

Our Children's Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP) Team provides direct interventions to Children and Young People with mild to moderate mental health problems. If the child is:
- primary school age, we will be working primarily with the parents/carers, and involve the children where possible.
- secondary school or college age, we will be working primarily with the young person and involve the parents as needed.
The Children's Wellbeing Practitioner Team work with professionals and schools not covered by the Mental Health Support Team.
