Description

Target audience: parents, carers and professionals

Mental health and wellbeing support from the 0-25 Service Knowsley

The team supports children and young people aged 5-19 and 19-25 year olds with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) with their mental health and wellbeing.

The vision is to enable children, young people and families across Knowsley to access services quickly to be secure, healthy, have fun and achieve their full potential.

Working closely with families and professionals the team is passionate about helping people access the right support, information and guidance.

The team provides:

• advice, support and guidance around low mood/depression, anxiety, feelings & emotions, sleep and behaviours
• personal, informative and tailored advice for families
• resources to meet the needs of families
• signposting and referrals into other services
• safeguarding support

The service is confidential, non-judgmental, and inclusive and treats all children and young people with dignity, respecting gender, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental health abilities, religion, culture, social background and lifestyle choices.

Individual, holistic care is provided and if the team is unable to meet the needs of children, young people and their families they will try and find someone who can. The team has a duty of care to share information safely with appropriate services if we felt children and young people were at risk.
