We have identified 6 key priority areas where we want to work with our key partners to develop pathways and services to deliver improved outcomes for children and young people with mental health needs. We have identified these by looking at what our Strategic Health Needs Assessment has told us, what our local data is telling us, and from listening to our Service Users.

  • Working with our community partners to develop a prevention offer that address health inequalities
  • Understanding the whole pathway and identify opportunities to intervene earlier
  • Deep Dive to understand what the barriers to discharge are
  • Working in collaboration with children’s social care and education colleagues to develop an integrated model of support
  • Explore with stakeholders what a Pan London community in reach model might look like
  • Working closely with Forensic CAMHS and other stakeholders to develop an LSU strategy

And over the course of time, we have made a lot of improvements and we’ve seen change, and we’re continuing to see change. The pace of work is good and, I am happy with that. It nice know that from our negative and positive experiences, we are able to make a difference. Finding out what skills we have and possible future careers if people want to further a career in the NHS."
