Information for professionals

Action for Children have partnered with Inverclyde Education Department and the Health and Social Care Partnership to create a new wellbeing service for children and young people aged 5 to 18. Every school community across the local authority will be able to access the service on a continuum from class based group work programmes enabling young people to increase their resilience in managing their own emotional health and wellbeing, to targeted one to one person centred counselling.

Our delivery will be provided by teams of specialist staff governed by robust clinical management. Staff will provide a range of Direct, Preventative and Digital evidence-based solutions, which will be delivered with the aim to:   

• Increase understanding of emotional health needs

• Ensure active participation  

• Establish a platform for children and young people to support themselves and maintain good Emotional Health and Wellbeing   

• Build positive emotional health and resilience in coping skills

• Reduce referrals to specialist services
