Children and young people in Sunderland can now receive NHS mental health and emotional wellbeing support without first obtaining a formal diagnosis.
The new Getting Help Service is available to people up to the age of 25 who are registered with a Sunderland GP. It is intended to help with mild to moderate difficulties including anxiety, low mood, worries, emotional regulation and the effects of challenging life events.
Support will be tailored to individual needs and may include one-to-one sessions, coping strategies, practical advice or help accessing other local services. Parents and carers can also receive advice.
Young people waiting for mental health or neurodevelopmental assessments may be able to use the service while they wait, although it will not replace specialist treatment. Families seeking support should speak to their GP practice, which can refer them to the most appropriate help.
The service is funded by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board and delivered by South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with Sunderland Counselling Service.
