Provision of a Childrens Mental Health & Wellbeing Service

Description

We are seeking either one service or a collaboration of services to deliver this support to children and families in the Angus area. The service(s) in Angus will provide mental health and emotional wellbeing support for primary school age children who live in Angus, in addition to what can be provided through universal services. The service(s) will provide responsive, early support to concerns in respect of a child’s mental wellbeing. This will be part of a continuum of additional support provided by a range of services within the community and, where necessary, signpost to other services for example Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to ensure a whole system approach. The service(s) will develop community support to address issues of mental and emotional distress and wellbeing rather than mental illness that may be more appropriately met through a more specialist service such as CAMHS. The service(s) must support an approach based on prevention and early intervention Lot 1: Full service description is appended to the Tender Docs
