Enfield Council wants to ensure that mental health is ‘everyone’s business’ and to co-produced a whole system approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health in Enfield
Key elements
- Implementation of the THRIVE conceptual model which encourages shared multiagency responsibility in promoting emotional wellbeing and mental health
- Mental health needs are defined by children, young people and families alongside professionals through shared decision making. Needs are not based on severity, diagnosis, or health care pathways but can be aligned with support available through ‘getting advice’, ‘getting help’, ‘getting more help’ and ‘risk support’
- A stronger focus on prevention, self-help, peer to peer work and community support networks: we want children and young people in Enfield to ‘thrive’: to be emotionally resilient, confident and able to achieve whatever they set out to do and there is no stigma to asking for help when they feel it is needed
- Early identification and intervention, through implementation of the Healthy Child Programme, the Family Resilience Strategy, and work in schools
- Additional targeted support where necessary for children and young people who are more vulnerable to review and implement a system wide response
- A workforce motivated and equipped to deliver accessible and responsive services
- A common understanding of the support and services available through a comprehensive directory (Local Offer)
