Emotional Well-being Survey

Emotional Wellbeing Survey 2016

In Medway, we want to support children, young people and their families as they make their journey through life, and to work together to help them respond to and overcome specific challenges that they may face. Children and young people's emotional wellbeing can impact on every area of their lives such as school/ college and their relationship with friends and family. For some young people they will experience difficulties that will impact on their wellbeing and mental health. So when that does happen it is so important to have the right help and support in place.

However, young people and their families/carers have recently told us that we do not always provide help early enough and it’s not always clear how to access that help. To improve this situation and ensure services for children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health services work better together, we are looking to make some changes to the way in which these services are provided in Medway. These proposed changes include combining a number of contracts into one service and in so doing, ensuring that there are clearer pathways in place so that young people can access the support that best meets their needs, in the right place and at the right time.

To help shape the new service and get a better understanding of what a good service should look like, we are really keen to hear your experiences about what, if anything, could be done differently, as well as knowing if there is anything else that we need to consider before making any final decisions on what the new service should look like.

Do you understand why we are proposing to change the way we deliver young people's emotional and mental health services?
