Mindworks Surrey is a new emotional wellbeing and mental health service for children and young people in Surrey, founded on the iTHRIVE Framework. It is provided by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with an alliance of NHS and national and local voluntary sector organisations, including Barnardo’s and the National Autistic Society, bringing together the expertise of a range of children’s organisations.
Centring the voice of the child in care decisions, the service aims to support children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health needs by providing a range of services, including 1:1 solution-focused support for children and young people aged 5-18 years who need help with mental health and emotional wellbeing issues such as anxiety, isolation, bullying, friendships, and difficulties with anger or bereavement. The service also provides a range of group interventions, advice, information, and resources on topics such as anger, anxiety, depression, self-harm, sleep problems, trauma, and more. It seeks to give children a choice about their options and how and where they access them.
