Children's wellbeing practitioners
Date: 04 August 2021
CWP’s offer 6-10 sessions of Low Intensity CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to children and young people who are struggling with low level mental health difficulties. They work together with the child, young person and family/carers to help find ways to manage and overcome their difficulties.
We can work with young people who are:
- Up to the age of 18
- Main presentation Anxiety/Low Mood
- Mild presentation
- Low risk
- Recent onset of presentation
- Who want to take part
- Willing to take part in a 40-60 minute session or meet at our Sheffield or Barnsley base.
Because we offer Low Intensity CBT, we cannot work with young people who:
- Are already being seen by CAMHS or have been seen by CAMHS in the past
- Have a severe/chronic presentation
- High risk/Ongoing safeguarding concerns
- Systemic issues
- Attachment concerns
- Complex presentation
- Prescribed medication
- Self-harming as main presentation
- Do not want to take part
- Are at risk of taking their own lives
- Some young people who are prescribed medication for their mental health (please discuss this with a CWP before referral)
These young people may benefit from high intensity model of support, to access this kind of support we would advise young people to arrange an appointment with their GP. We know it can be difficult reaching out and talking about mental health, and if a young person you are working with needs some support preparing for their GP appointment we would highly recommend the ‘DocReady’ app/ website: Doc Ready. Our mental health passport is also a secure way for young people to store and share their information www.mymhp.org.uk.
