Mental health services for families

Everyone has mental health. Mental health and wellbeing is about how we think, feel and behave. It affects how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Good mental health helps us enjoy life and cope with problems.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feel at risk of harming yourself or others, please contact Single Point of Access immediately for help and support. They will help keep you safe. 

Finding the right information and support can be challenging. The THRIVE framework (Wolpert et al., 2019) divides mental health and wellbeing support options into different groups (Getting advice, Getting help, Getting more help and Getting risk support), so you can get the best help for you and your family.

The THRIVE Framework for system change (Wolpert et al., 2019) is an integrated, person-centred and needs-led approach to delivering mental health services for children, young people and their families.

It was developed by a collaboration of authors from the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
