Service delivery objectives include: • Offer therapeutic interventions and access to support at the times when CYP need it. • Improve access to the provision of self-care tools and resources which support CYP and their families to help themselves and build resilience • Provide an accessible, safe, secure, online environment for CYP to be able to discuss their emotional wellbeing and mental health with peers and trained Therapists. • If delivering structured intervention use evidence based assessment tools and interventions, set SMART goals with CYP and provide pathways into other services, as required. • Ensure CYP who are identified as more at risk of experiencing emerging mental health needs such as, BAME, CYP with SEND, excluded CYP or CYJ are able to access the appropriate level of support when it is needed.
