Everybody promotes good wellbeing, mental health and resilience This is key to ensuring we put the right conditions in place to support our children and young people to stay mentally well throughout their lives.
It’s easy for you to find out who can help and what support is available This will help destigmatise access to mental health services.
You get the right help and support, at the right time and in the right place This covers a range of service improvements that ensures better access to support when it is needed, putting the child, young person, and family’s needs right at the centre.
We listen to you about what helps, and this helps us improve the quality of our services This ensures we listen to and engage with children, young people and their families with the aim of improving outcomes.
