Description

Ayrshire and Arran Health Board, known as NHS Ayrshire & Arran wishes to appoint a contractor to provide Provision of Supported Transition for the Child and Adult Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The Service will provide identified children in Irvine and Largs localities with additional support transitioning as there is a recognised need that many children have a number of environmental factors that impact on their mental health and wellbeing. This service will also support additional transitions from S1 into S2 for identified pupils. There would be some early intervention and prevention work with a focus on ‘Worry Workshops’ and supporting young people to talk about feelings and discuss any worries. This will provide a platform to normalise conversations around mental health and wellbeing as well as providing young people with practical skills and mechanisms that will assist them in self-managing worries.
