Thank you @_NatashaDevon for saying it as it is. Any government serious about children's mental health has to go way beyond a 'treatment' plaster. Poverty, discrimination... We have known forever what helps children thrive now we have to get serious about providing it for all. https://twitter.com/_NatashaDevon/status/1360703369476767745
So grateful to be in Wales where health, social care & education are all aligning in their ambition to do just this. The @T4CYP Early Help & Enhanced Support pulls this together creating a whole system approach focused on enriching and supporting day to day relationships.
Launching in April after a yr of co-production with children, young people, parents, carers, & front line professionals across all agencies. We're calling in NYTH/NEST because everyone needs a NEST that is Nurturing Empowering Safe & Trusted. Some need it much more than others.
It's about empowering and supporting every trusted adult to be there for young people so that therapy has a place but is not the only default as it has limitations for many and doesn't fix the environment or causes @DebbieAustinSW @RaqueldeRowl @WelhamJennie @DrIanSmillie
